Hey DJW
I'll chime in on this one. I think Masmith gave you good advice on going for the 314. I am unimpressed with both 100 and 200 series...but a s the saying goes, you get what ya pay for. Go for the 314...if you cant swing the price, buy a nice used one. If you dont like the idea of buying used, buy a new 200 series from Buffalo Brothers and use the 100% upgrade deal they have when you have enough money to get something nicer. It's a win win!
Good luck!
