Its always the same when I want to buy something, I started with a budget of £200 thinking I could get one that would be well used but would do the job, then as I expected the earlier Commodore turnovers are not really going to be good enough........ now I'm looking at £350-£400 and soon i'll be up to £600
I think the Bateman, IAE or Ironworks it the way ahead, and if I buy one then I don't want to be upgrading in a few years time.
Thanks for your comments and advice, certainly prevented me from buying something that would not of been adequate.
