Hi, going to chime in here and say that when you find something that does it for you then take the leap. You may not get another or better chance in a reasonable time frame especially if you can afford it. Its worth will be decided by you at the end of the day. I waited 40 years to get what I wanted, 2 Jim Merz customs from the 70's. Paid a lot, probably too much, would do it again in a heartbeat for more if necessary, could not be happier. At the end of the day, "a bird in the hand....."
