Thanks very much to all for great survey comments ... been off line for awhile ...

A black on black S600 blew by me the other day passing the Pentagon - I like it! But, I gave a feeling the S500 might be a more reasonable direction ...

KenP - I will likely start looking in next few weeks - may give you a yell. Thank you for the kind offer.
