Got to lay my grubby fat paws upon one at WGH Show in San Diego.  Gold Coast had them for $675.00.  The guys over at the Del Oro layout had one and the pull power is quite good.  Almost stuck one in my hippocket but still recovering from the cost of the wedding in November, just not ready to spend that much, yet!!!

 

Well OK, I was ready to spend, but SWMBO hinted that I would be sleeping with the dogs for a few months if I got it now.

Peter,

We will be doing a product review on the K-27, most likely in the April issue. If you are a subscriber, it will be online before you get your issue (around Feb. 23). 

I hope to have my "Current" issue by then.....Whistling [:-^]
