Right just read the whole thread, great thread btw, great read! Markh why not save all this bother and save up for a nice 2nd hand gen, you will never be satisfied with the moony reps, they are great in that they are a stepping stone for a while as you put the money together, but ultimately they always lack, especially with the moony.
If this was a PO with all the franken knowledge and options available it would be different but the gen moony is difficult to resist when it comes calling. Tell me to go jump if you want
but you are already pouring good money into a project (while a great experience
) that will leave you still desiring the gen.
Just imo and all that, the speedy is my grail. I went through the same thing of buying the a21j, the quartz and the st19 between 2007 and 2009 when I hummed and hawed about the price on good used gens on ebay (about £700 at the time minty) looking back now I was silly, they were a great price then, eventually I plunged for one in 2010 (still a good price but dearer) and it was a beauty. Not sure of the price now, obviously prices gone a little mad over the past two years but still can be had around £1400 or equivalent?
