Thanks James, appreciate your comments. Buying Croft over here in the US is decent, at least we can get them. Getting them modified/upgraded can be tough, a trip back across the pond. The basic RIAA and the "R" versions are what we have available, which is good. Probably for me, if I take the Croft approach, it will be either of these two models.
