Seriously...Ted C speaks with un-forked tongue. One of the issues that my wife and I have is when I buy something that's a budget version and then after using it for a while see that I should have gone ahead and spent the extra money to get the "good one". Of course I find an excuse to then buy the "good one" and am sitting there with both the budget model and the "good one" with my wife telling me that she doesn't understand why I do this all the time. Of course, had I spent the money on the "good" one up front, she would be asking how I could spend so much money on something without knowing whether or not it would work or I would actually like it.

Catch 22: If your sane enough to say that you're too crazy to fly, then you're sane enough to fly.

Speaking as a married man, blow the wad and get the good one now...trust me, you'll find plenty of occasions to wear it in the future...kilt nights, highland games, evenings at the theatre...but it might be your last chance to - how shall we say - spend money on an "un-approved" item before you enter the blissful arms of matrimony.

Best
