Thanks Gaz... points taken .. i'm no expert but i have a couple of projects under my belt and i've definitely been bitten by it! - and i got the money from a funding body (for a bit of public art) so its not really my money and the grant would just about cover the extra hundred on top of all the...
just ordered a brand new Clarke 151en for about 280 and just minutes later a gumtree seller got back to me offering a GYS 160 in v.good nick for 350 plus shipping..
