Re: enough! (was: Viper vs. 993)

That's  a decent deal Kev, I'd say go for it.  The stuff is real good.
Offer him $600 and see what he says.  Eclipse stuff does not have nearly the
markup that the other brands have.  It's VERY expensive for a store to carry
that's why they are tough to find.

Later,
Greg
