I appreciate the suggestions about buying used "real" kit - totally agree and I have plenty of experience buying and selling ex-hire and used.

Just curious about the Pakistani versions... I have a feeling that the only way to ever get something decent from Sialkot is to have an intermediary vendor sorting through the junk in order to find something passable (which appears to be the case for some legit businesses). Even then, it's probably always going to be a little off.
