I have one of these and just love it. I actually bought it for FMQ before I got my long arm. Not sure if you can still find the 1500 at a dealer as I believe a new model came out (more bells/whistles/$) that replaced it. I have seen many new ones online (sure some places bought at a very good price and are offering until they are all gone). The original retail price on them was I believe $1500 when I got mine years ago
