I feel this way, especially if you can check it out in person and take it home if you like it. Sure you can save $50 on reverb maybe, but then it typically has to be shipped. I would pay $50 not to engage in that hassle. I like mine, but your ears will need to tell you if it is in your wheelhouse.I don't know - if it's minty, $350 is pretty good these days. I would imagine that the value is gonna hold if it is MIA, as the latest ones are all MIC now since Peavey moved the Classics production there last year.
