How did this ever play out? Somebody has one of these for sale and I was thinking about it. After reading this thread, my thoughts were to suggest taking it to another shop. Nobody should be offended by wanting a second opinion when it comes to $1000 - and if they do, then that isn't somebody you want to do business with. In any case, you wouldn't have to even say that's what you were up to and just say you need to think about it before dropping that many clams. But that is surely all water under the bridge.
I'm looking to hear what the 'lessons learned' were here - ENQUIRING MINDS WANNA KNOW! Thanks.
