As a new member, thanks for the welcome. I have had my mind set on getting a mini GS for sometime now, but the more I learn about the mini the more questions I have. I love the Koa plus, but wish there was a better choice of grain, shade depth and I guess if I saw thee one I would know it immediately. Do I buy new, used ? I just don't know. If anyone could suggest a distributer/source, that may offer better choices than what I've found so far, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Russell.
