Yup, but with what gearing?!!! I have yet to find a website that carries a detailed spec of the Birdys. Suprisingly some in the UK have no mention of the "Light", which I would have thought would be a potential best seller.

I shall be offline for the next few days - a good opportunity to mull things over - and any final comments on the shortlist of Birdy, SL, Swift or the late contenders of MU SL or Jetstream P8 would be greatly appreciated.
