Re:
Gavr, nice idea, but not at the prices I've seen.
Bugloss, yes, I've looked at Holdsworth, but other than the obvious, and pricy Professional, I'm not sure which models are good and which erm, less so.
Bagpuss, other than reading the names, I don't know either of those, I shall start searching.
Keep the ideas coming, somewhere out there is just what I'm looking for.
