We seem to have gotten away from Terry's original post, sort of, but my replacement at the university recently bought a Fujan and said that it was the best investment he'd ever made. He loves it! Pricey but very good. Even though I've retired from full-time work, I still do some tunings,etc. & have considered buying one myself. <br>
