As Burnie says, the SVD is a cracker Mike. I've had mine for over 6 months now, still works great (hope I haven't jinxed it now). With it being a telescopic mod, you can basically use any size battery in it too. Easy to use menu and brass contacts - it's a winner mate.
I'm going for the MVP just in the short run, no other reason due to the price difference. I don't own any of the required batteries or chargers, so that will add on a fair bit on top of the kit. I will most definitely get it soon though. I will be resisting so hard in the next couple of hours not to order it along side my MVP
I have a number of tabs open right now, containing different baskets from various sites ready to place the orders as soon as my pay packet arrives in my account!

Anyone link me to any good looking drip tips from FT? The ones I seem to choose, I don't particularly end up liking
I'm still not happy with this blackcurrant mix yet Terry, it still doesn't taste quite right yet. Some of the mixes are too weak, some are too strong and the ones that are strong enough just don't have the depth of flavour yet - so no blackcurrant for Terry just yet
