All fine machines.ran the se pro myself.had some good stuff with it.
was going to get the sov GT(or its waterproof brother =P~ ) but ended up opting for the Etrac.
Glad i did because its been on fire this year.
Suppose also sometimes a little bit of luck helps ;)

i like them little dodgy squeaks that just niggle a dig.
always something there lol.
