Looks like your going to have a very nice system.
Take it slow and easy and rethink your plan at every step. Then you shouldnt have any real big regrets.

Yeah the most expensive words in the world "UPGRADE". I am currently moving up to a 180 and trying to buy things here and there so that it is not a complete drain. The kids are eating top ramen three times a day though. I told them to have nice things you have to sacrifice. I think there is going to be a revolt here soon. There are 5 of them and only one of me. So if I send an SOS through reeffrontiers I am probably locked in a closet.
