Walt, glad to hear you gave the locals a chance. Too bad all around that
they couldn't address your needs. Happened to me on a couple deals I've
done. Three of the local dealers with whom I've dealt have gone out of
business in the past couple years. I miss 'em but unless the service side
of their business is strong they simply can't compete with the high volume
sellers.
Your configuration sure looks good to me. I assume the anti-lock brakes are
standard with the processor. ;o)
Have fun!/ScottGee1
