Wow! Thanks for all of the informed responses. I guess I have somework, in the way of auditioning, to do.

As far as budget goes, my feeling is that if I hear something I like and its out of my range at the moment, I'll just wait a little longer and save up before pulling the trigger. Of course, given my luck the roof will probably blow off my house between now and then...
