The time I spend finding out who to return it to, the time to box it up properly, the time to drive to a shipping place, the time it takes for either the vendor or the manafacture to return a usuable one.

I could have just bought another brand and be done with it.

I know returning it is the "right" thing to do. But that's a lot of hassle for an out of pocket expense of $60 and time is money. I'm not rich but my time is worth money to me - even if just a little.

One would think a company that has a model of a product geared towards beginers would have one that is very hassle free to get them to return when it's time to move up on the performance scale.
