Ben -

I'll give a call to my dealer Monday to see if they're still available.  If
the price is affordable I will order a few of each for comparison.

If not available in NA, I have someone in Germany who can probably source
them for me.  Landed cost will probably be the same as what I'd pay the
dealer, but that's OK, my markup would be minimal.

Stay Tuned.
