I'll probably end up keeping the 3000, buy the Bose, and attach an umbrella to the Bose pole for shade.

The umbrella worked great for me, and there's no doubt about the Bose--you're gonna' love it!

For now, and probably for the next few years, the 3000s will be my bread and butter machines--they've paid for themselves several times over and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Cheers,

Gary
