    I think so, but what's the exchange rate? the Signature models bring a steep admission price.

    he lives in Canada, so no exchange rate for him... that one is not a signature series. You can do better on price than that for non sig models

    Try to A/B them. Blanket recommendations don't help you evaluate with your own ears. What would happen if you purchased the Sunfire and six months later you heard it A/B versus the GFA and really liked it better?

    Use your ears if you can.
