Thnx for all the advice John, Gambitt, and Wossa.  Sorry to take so long to reply -- MillyBess has been finding lots of end of summer work for me....  I think I'll start saving my pennies while I continue to research this..  I'm always happier if I know enough about what I'm buying to know I'm getting a good deal.
