Hey...I know...been there...that's why I returned to the single life with no regrets.

I figure the Bose systems will pay for themselves in less than a year(maybe sooner)...only hassle will be a bit longer set-up time, but I will work that into my schedule...transporting will not be a problem as each part is quite light.

For the very few times I need a big honkin' PA with a short dispersion, I'll rent one and write it off at the end of the year...plus, I can still use my Yammies as monitors.

I go through far more arrangers than sound systems...the latter are usually a one time buy/investment...the former change too often for me to remain with one instrument for any great length of time.
