most i'm sure will lean towards the DX1 because its a solid top, not laminate
i've played em both, liked em both, but i'm leaning DX1 - yeah its $50 more but its sold top

thoughts?

ps - sorry filmdude, no big baby for me
i'm selling my DXM for 300 including case..there is already an offer up but that could awlays change

well he emailed me back - instore price only - i don't blame him though

still trying to find it under $500 round here, not sure if i trust the internet

what about saying you've seen it for less at another store? that work?

i think the thing i don't like about haggling is that i'm afraid of them just saying "uh no stupid, its $499"

but then i guess i could just be like, ok, going to buy it in bryn mawr, later fellas

hmmmm *ponders*
