I recently got into the hobbie too and ive spend around 400 just this month... :-X think i might just bite the bullet if theyre still there by the time i head home...
Sorry to be such an editor (it's a curse), but "biting the bullet" usually means doing something hard, not easy. In this case, it'd be
not buying, like I'm not doing.
For what it's worth, I'm pointing this out not to be a know-it-all, but because it was another chance to type something on fabulous mechanical switches, something we can all understand. :?)
