If you prefer tan, then buy it because they are harder to find..and the price is not unreasonable....but if you don't have a preference then wait because you can probably get a better deal on a black one...I had my eyes open for the longest time and found nothing..then last Juy I saw an add and got it for $125, then...3 weeks later I find another lonely one at an Estate sale, Centennial Edition..marked for $195...left a bid for $70...nobody bought it so I picked it up for $70.00 next day...I am in Toronto...
