Sounds like you already have some real good advice. I ended up doing #4 on Jim's list because there weren't any offerings by SY in that range and the NMSFNO is a little more than I'd like to pay. So, I purchased a Ranger RD-9 to tide me over until the next good chopper is released by SY or until I find a decent deal on the secondary market. I'm pretty happy with the Ranger but would rather have a SY. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Or a Busse if i could get off my wallet. That NMSFNO is still very tempting...and there aren't many left.
