You might consider the 3 in 1 kit Tiger. I know it is more money then you initially stated earlier, but it gives you so many options as is and if you pick out specific others, you have unlimited potential...plus, you can build whatever you fancy - just a thought...and didn't Erik say he would hook you up???? (j/k Erik)
*DISCLAIMER - just because I am in the startup stage of this kit does not mean I have been unduly influenced here
