I finally took the plunge and ordered my 1050 this afternoon.

Though price was just one of the factors that influenced my decision to order a 1050 it was one of the most obvious ones.

After shopping around for a couple of weeks it became clear that it is apparently impossible to get equipment equal to the 1050
anywhere near the price of the Outlaw piece.

Another factor that had a stong influence on my decision was the attitude of the salespeople at the so called "high-end" equipment dealers I visited. Many acted like they were doing me a favor by selling me the equipment I was looking for. I experienced this type of attitude quite a few times while shopping for my car and didn't need the aggravation again.

Till delivery day, Gunslingers.
