Ikr. Topre never goes on sale. We should find some nice Japanese distributor that would want to give us a discount....><
Unfortunately. I have been wanting to try it out, but have no idea whether it would be worth it for me, or if I even like them. The prices are too high for me to "just try"
Keep your eyes peeled on places like Craigslist and Amazon used deals. I got lucky and found a Realforce 87U SILENT in like-new condition for $210 with all original packaging and accessories. Worst case scenario if I didn't like it is that I could resell it for at least $50 more than I paid
Hell, I could probably use it for 5 years and still get my money back.
...but I liked it. And I have zero buyers remorse. It's a dream coding on that thing at work all day. Variable weighting for life!!!
If you don't mind, keeping your eyes open might reveal some worthwhile deals. And I seriously doubt you will be disappointed. The MX Browns on my CM Storm Trigger (Costar) at home feel sloppy to me now.
