Of the choices above, if I had the money, the Thor would be my 1st choice. Followed, closely, by the Kalison or one the Miraphones. I also think the Yamaha is underated... that 822 with a HB bell that popped up a few years ago looked particularly intriguing.

Yep, it was mentioned

The new MW 3225 Ursus seems to be exactly what you're looking for. If I had the bread I would buy it in a heartbeat. It's really is a game changer. The NYC Buffet showroom just cleared out the 2 they had in stock selling for just north of $13k.

Cool, thanks Ryan... I'll have to drop by the showroom next time I'm in the city. It figures that this happens like 2 months AFTER I move away... :roll: :)
