    A very nice piece...but not gonna happen for 1250 in my house. It may be worth that, but if I spent over 1000 on a pre (I'd be in the dog house...if you know what I mean?).

    For those of you whose budgets are greater than mine, go for it!

    That price is about average...not a stellar deal, but not bad either. It is a piece of gear I'd like to try someday.
