The Busse site has the HG-55 up on it now and the price for the LE is just under $400 which compared to the BATAC LE when released($420) and the Ash LE ($497) seems to be OK...no dramatic increase at least. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think the LE version might make for a "heavy duty" RMD alternative...thicker stock than the RMD but less "handle" than the BATAC LE which seems a bit "rear" heavy for me...so I went for one...and will give some feed back when it arrives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
