What is it they say, "Different strokes for different folks"? Good advice about test driving if you have a friend that owns an EM..or at a dealer's store. Ask around what others like about their brand. And try to buy from a local dealer so you don't have to travel for repairs, and lessons are included with the purchase. I've been at it long enough that I can ''raise the hood'' and do minor repairs myself. You learn to do that when you have a 200 mi drive. When/if a motor or motherboard goes bad, then I will gas up and go to the expert. If you decide after buying that it is not for you, then you will never recover your cost. So think long and hard about where your inheritance will benefit you most. My opinion is worth what you paid me for it!
