myner if ur thinking of upgrading why even consider the demo. isnt that what people buy as a 'my first kit' kinda thing. im interested to see what mapex can offer for the entry budget.
Good news....just found out that the Mapex Distributor (Pro-Musique) is bringing in the Q series kits. Great news= below $900!! Hand built somemore. Should be in by september. Those looking for an alternative brand, this will be a good one to check out.
