Hi I want to buy one of these instruments,but they have advantages and disadvantages, the Private sale one has a lot of Accessories the disadvantage it's only 3.5" and if something goes wrong I have little or no come back, the commercial one is a 5" but only a few Accessories see below, but at least I would have some come back if something goes wrong. I have to decide within a few days which one to buy, therefore I would appreciate any comments,suggestions alternatives, I have been sent pics of the private sale one, but I am not sure how to upload them to the group, so if anyone wants to see them please let me know and I will post them direct to you. Thanks
