I appreciate the advice.

Let me ask the question this way:

An 8 yd. 13 oz. Anderson Ancient from J Higgins would cost $375.

An 8 yd. 13 oz. Anderson Ancient from USAK would be $520.

If it were YOUR money would you spend the extra $145 (nearly 40%) to get the USAK?

This may not be a fair comparison. I may not be talking apples to apples at all, but I don't know enough yet to know the difference.

I have a Semi-trad on order from USAK that is still about 6 to 8 weeks out, so I'll get a look at one first hand in a couple of months, but perhaps there is someone out there who has both and would share their thoughts?
