And you won't find one of those for $139, either. $1390, maybe ... I paid $1200 for mine around ten years ago, and considered myself fortunate to find one at that price. Since then it's had quite a bit of hard use, so it's not as pretty on the outside. It is heavy, but it justifies the weight every time I use it.
