Yes the Meyer is shall be, now if what my wife wants to get doesn't cost too much I'll hopefully have enough left over from my performance bonus to buy one!  ;)

Good choice. I've been using mine for half a decade now, and it gets used minimum 5 days a week (often times more) and going strong. It's taken a minor set from thrusting, and the cord wrap in one small section has gotten very slightly loose, but all in all it is still about as servicable as the day I received it.

I guess I'm the throw-back then...generally speaking, I don't use powered tools.  I probably should start though...would make my life easier.

Well I put my first Albion on order today. I will be the proud owner of my new Meyer in 8 – 12 weeks which means I should get it in time for the Triangle European Martial Arts Conclave!   ;D

I like this word, "first". That means there will be more. ;)

Congratulations, Sir Brian!

lol,
My apologies! It was either a typographical error or a Freudian slip, I mean really does a person need more than one Albion?  ;)
