That's it then, decision made. I'm not going to meet the guy I was going to as I would have felt obliged to buy it and if it is great I'll never know.
I'm going to print out all the great advice and get off my a**e and start looking at a few, driving them to get a feel for them and to understand them a bit better.
Then I'll probably buy one and sods law it will break down on the way home!
Thanks.
