I just started reading this thread tonight. Wow a DA 50 for half the price. I been looking and studing about the DA 50 for a couple of days. All I read is good. The only negative is the price. I am thinking maybe with the tax return. Then I see this DL50 and think the Chinese do a pretty good job of coping. Maybe not as good as the DA itself but I could get 2 for the price of one. Then someone says they will probably do the new DA85 next. Then I am thinking wonder what this will do to DA. If there is no DA to do the R&D what will the Chinese have to copy. You know I would rather have the real DA around for the great stuff they will have in the future the a Chinese clone. I am going to do the DA even if I have to wait and save alittle longer. For those of you who don't see it the same way, this opion is not a judgement of you. I just like to hold onto as much good old USA as possible. It gets harder every day because we keep losing us companies.
