Same here Logan, it was a big decision but I decided, along with the desire for some of the new electronic capabilities of the modern non AE mount, the NJP really needed some relief from the mule like expectations I had her under ... and the extra $'s for the AE's was just too far to reach but who knows, as you suggest, some time down the track maybe

Thanks Chris, OPT had 1600's without AE in stock, so hopefully the back ordered items will be in soon so perhaps end of the month or early Dec?
