Well I should be able to give my 2 cents about the Reo later this week, but I know exactly how you feel. I have been debating for the past month about getting one. I kept telling myself it was just too much to pay, and so I went ahead and bought the Kamry last week so I could give mechs a try. I like it and I still love my mvp as well. And I will still use them to test juices with my igo dripper. So I had convinced myself that I was going to be happy with that for awhile.
But then that beautiful woodvil just happened to show up on the classies and I couldn't resist. I was waiting on one of those and I know they go fast, so I didn't give myself time to debate. I jumped on it. The last few reos that went thru the classies I debated over until someone else bought them. I guess I was just waiting on the right one. And at least this way I know mine comes from a good home and has been well taken care of! I don't think I'm going to be sorry that I bought it.
I guess my point is, yeah I actually did start out with one in mind, lol, that I'm glad I've gone thru the purchases I have because they've all been a learning experience for me and each one has led me to something better. I don't really regret any of them...well maybe that mvp shine I just bought the day before my Reo this weekend, but I figure I can sell that one, so no big deal. I think it's all a matter of personal preference. What makes one person happy, may not for another. If it works for you, then it's all good!
