Bill,
Of course one has to keep up on the options.
I understand and appreciate what a Wersi has to offer.

If Wersi offered a KIT for 1/2 to 2/3 the cost AND supported the US like Germany... Then I would consider it. Why not have a kit for us Tech. capable folks? That's where they started.

IMHO, Wersi could care less about us in the US (and maybe some other places too like Canada). That's their decision, so be it.

If I ever find one used very cheap, I would try one in spite of the support issues.

By the way, I know the problem is NOT Chris Conti & gang....he is a very nice supportive.
