sethmeister4:: This thing is sick…I am in the market for something new, and I have always liked these. Hard to find though. I may go with a Protege LX, too, and I keep seeing your name come up in forums about them. They are pretty fun and pretty solid from the sounds of it. Looking forward to some more updates on this!
