First Pan question

[krisstewart10]

Hi everyone, i'm looking to purchase my fisrt Pan. I have been reading many posts but still undecided on which model to get. There seems to be so many different models with not much that I can different between a lot of them.
I like the look of 111 and 112 but don't know which is best and what all the letters like g,h mean etc.
What dealer would everyone recommend for a Pan around $200 with all the latest improvements.

No matter your choice, be sure to purchase from one of the Trusted Dealers. My advice to to find a model that you personally like, then worry about the details later. There's plenty of time to obsess about details.
Here's a good start, the case and CG a worth it alone:

The 111 is a good model to start with. The 111 hubrisin linked in his post is a pretty good deal....... I would go for the 111H offered by Time4Direct.
