Yeah the part support kinda stinks. But it sounds like a wicked deal for a basher. I'm hoping my friend decides on the custom build but he is tough on decisions like these so I'll probably already be through a couple of gallons with my basher before he makes a definite decision on what he wants. Next time I see him I will show him this post and see what he takes from it.
All of this info is still good for myself since I will be saving my pennies for new radio equipment. After reading through the added features, I am a believer lol.
