what are your other sources of income? Putting it another way....how long did it take you to save the $213 and is that your standard amount of time for being able to put money away?

Here's the way I look at all of my toy purchases.....if I can buy the upper level version of something and then grow into it (but not take forever doing it) then I will. It's nice knowing that I have the room to move around. However, if this is a "one shot and blow your wad" type deal, and it may take a long time (completely subjective) to be able to start tossing things onto your new toy, then you might want to go with the most bang for your buck option---lower end model, with accessories. Another option...keep your eyes open for refurbs?? I saw X5 Advanced models (refurbed) going for 189 today--90 day warranty and no cradle....woopty doo.

It's all a matter of what's important to you....and also, not only how much money you have now but how much money you'll have in the future. It never ends with these things....there's always "the next thing I'm gonna get for it." Get something you can be satisfied with. From what I've read of your previous posts, you're a younger guy (kid even??) You've got time to play. :-)
