Yes I agree, if I save up some more cash I could perhaps even find a 150 - I guess that would be even safer than the 100.. But then I would be in 3.0 D4D territory, and I dont think they are as bulletproof as the 4.2 of the 100 series

Sadly we didn't get the 105 here, I was under the impression that only the Aussies got that model?
