Great comments! Looking forward to much more feedback as well. I guess I am not alone in my frustration at a new KN model every couple of years and the anguishing decision whether to upgrade or not. But, as some of you have said, unless you MUST have the latest, use what you have to the fullest and just enjoy! (By the way, speaking of enjoying, have a great honeymoon, Richard! Why not add the 7000 to your gift list and maybe all your friends can get together and get you that instead of all those toasters, etc. )
