Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Lateapex I know how to use the search buttons and am doing my research as I search the rest of the site. I just located this site 30 min ago. Do you have any other great advice?? To all the others thanks for the links and the help.

Test drive is the best medicine. If you're not hooked as you settle into the seat, then don't buy one when you get out of it.
Otherwise, welcome aboard!
