Thanks Bob
we already have one L1 - and she knows what it is about..
The problem is to decide if the 410 is worht the extra bucks (whatever
the rate - wink).
The 500 is to be replaced by a 510, nowhere to be seen so far either. So
it is a bit difficult to assess its potential value too.
The prices you quote - hyphen - are extremely attractive - make them 1.5
to 2 times higher over here.
But you may know that a woman's desire is our duty. So I'd better find a
fast solution before she grabs for good the L1 she and friends offered
me LoL.
Thanks in any case BOd - I'll try and have a look at the 500 downtown
tomorrow.
To be continued
Thanks again.
