Quality!.........not.
I would wait for one to come up secondhand - new ones are just too dear, even though LED technology has become increasingly affordable for your average Joe. Just look at LED tellies - started out costing thousands, now a decent one can be had for 300 quid or less.
And over time the LED (sorry, direct LED) backlighting will save you money compared to ones using a bulb. When I installed an LED security light to replace the old halogen jobbie, the savings were immediate and obvious - plummeting from 5p a year to less than a penny.
So that's why I would.

hifi_dave of this parish kindly gave me a Mark Levinson polo shirt, which I do like wearing. And I'm tempted by a Nagra T-shirt, save I don't really look good wearing T-shirts.
Considering the amount of Quad gear I have, I'm surprised I haven't got a Quad sweatshirt or similar; but I don't think Quad had any made - it would have been somewhat infra dig for them to do so.

I have an Amstrad teeshirt, I keep it next to my Bose one.
