Not that I've ever even *seen* a Ds, but based on what I know from reading, I'd recommend Tanja go with another D. The main reason for this suggestion is her sizeable investment in CF media -- a backup body that takes different media sounds unwise to me. Also, the difference in control interface would likely be a distraction in the high-pressure situations in which Tan works. BUT I really think the difference in media is a huge reason. ERNR
