If you ever want to hit up SD Bay, drop me a line, haven't got my LJ gear back up to snuff yet. Good luck.

I'd definitely take the advise of going down and talking to these guys. They've been doing this for a long time and have a great selection. I believe OEX SD has last years Sealth on special right now for something around $750.
Go check them out, it's a shopping mall!!!!!!!
