Well you're right there is a hobby aspect here - and I'll take this over toothpick collecting

In the big scheme of life $2500.00Cdn is chump change - and compared to what a lot of people pay it's a relative steal.

As for stands - no law says you have to buy AN stands. The 20 inch stands i have now are quite good enough.

I'll have to determine what trade in and price I'll get. What did he say they sell for?
