This is a quote from that Game of Thrones “Night’s Watch” recruit-acquiring character in one of the early episodes, but “I could shave a spider’s ass with this blade.” Not to suggest that I’m presently going insane while watching GoT reruns while under WuFlu lockdown or anything like that……….

My purchase plan hinges on the income tax refund that I’ll have by mid-April. That refund will more than fund a WE130, but only a bit more than half the cost of a Pro-Pack III. I wish I could gallop straight into a PPIII, but sensibility suggests that I would best resist the temptation of self-indulgence. That being said, one of my credit cards may be overdue for a serious beating by April, so I’ll figure it out then. Aside from that, I’ve got a rock-like, leftover 24” x 24” x 1” chunk of commercial HDPE board that just screams “I deserve to be the base for your new WE!” Good thing I’ve got 4 months to figure it all out…

Thanks for your thoughts. I’ve already been through the Shoppers/Buyers Guide and I’m working my way through the forum. I’ve also used the comparison function in the WE website extensively. Portability isn’t of prime importance for me, but features are. The range of available offerings so far points me toward the WE130–w/out base, as I already have the material to make a great base. I think starting with the WE130 and adding other stones and accessories as time passes (and I figure out what I need) will be a conservative, “sensible shoes” kind of entry path for me. Time will tell. Anyhow, that’s my thinking today. There’s no telling what I’ll be thinking tomorrow, but I have some time to refine my thinking. I’ll be making my purchase somewhere around April of next year. Who knows? Gen 4 and the WE140 may be on the street by then!

Just a newbie thought, but it might not be a bad idea to throw in a baseball cap &/or T-shirt with every new (direct) order you get for one of your top-of-the-line products. Screen-printed BB caps and T-shirts are cheaper than dirt and easy/quick to buy by the dozen or in bulk and go a lonnnnnnnnnng way toward cementing customer loyalty.
