thanks all!!
yes the CF8 is pretty discounted right now, but lets say I could get a discounted CF9 for only $40 more than a discounted CF8? still go with the 8?
If it's my money, I'm going to save $40, and get the CF8. Both new, both with full warranty, both with equal (or close) performance, why spend more money?...
...unless DD hates the look of the CF8 and loves the look of the CF9, of course.
