Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Hi Andrew,

Glad you fnally got the mount.

Don't upgrade unless you absolutely have too!
I have read some horror stories of upgrades gone wrong, not completeting or crashing half way through requiring a trip back to the manufaturer to be fixed.

Cheers,

Justin.
