Very jealous that you're getting Works straight out the box. Did anyone consider the other upgrade companies? The warranty issue is too important for me to let go of, but it does grate that you can get similar performance for half the pennies.

Thanks...I used to be into all that kind of thing, but I fear I am a bit behind the times these days.....I have a pretty middle of the road Arcam set up.

My logic is, forget the jacuzzi and threesomes....
If you get an AM V8 you'll pull more morewomen then just two

I seriously looked at Hartge as they are very reputable and eveeryone says how good the conversion is is. But I am a bit of a classic mini fan and for me it had to be JCW....it is expensive though.
