Thank you all, your comments are all very helpful. I didn't know about the Blockit and that's very appealing. I think I'll talk to this local dealer and see if he will match any of her offers. Otherwise, Kathy will have another sale on the books!
I have to talk to my hubby some more and if we can swing the larger frame; I think I'll be happier with it in the end. I'll put up a post when the deal is done.
