that's really insightful adaptable.

when I was shopping for a coffee grinder, the advice I got was 'plan to upgrade once' ... ie; buy the biggest and best I could get. I spent $700 on a mazzer grinder (the silver ones you see in cafe's) and haven't thought twice about upgrading.

however I need to temper all my lusting with the knowledge that I'm not, and don't ever plan on being a recording musician. my gig is four songs a week at the church service I run, with 15 year old kids on drums and bass. It rocks, they're great little muso's, but I'm not going to be recording or even playing pub gigs etc.

otherwise it'd be like the guys who have thousands of dollars worth of equipment but can't actually play well at all.
