Again, the Whyte Sussex ticks all the boxes but just impossible to find.

In terms of price, I would be willing to pay more than the $1000 range to get the Paralane since it's exactly what I need. In reality, something exactly like the Paralane but with lower specs and not hydro brakes would be perfect as well.
