Tom - thanks for the very informative and experienced based post. You seem
to have a good idea of the pros and cons of both instruments - and it is
always a trade off isn't it? It's also good to consider all performance
venues as well as price before committing to purchase of a "pro" grade
instrument.

Wish I could hear your performance - alas - I cannot. Good luck!

Best wishes,
Roger Garrett
