Ha!! Well I have only heard back from the CL poster once and when I asked for more specifics the e-mail stopped. It looks like it could be an AP he wants $350 and I'd offer $280 to start. But seeing as he has ceased e-mailing me that ship may have sailed.
I'm torn between AP and Proline. I know the PL will come to about $263 with almost all I need. The AP is about $60 more which would be a nice chunk toward the heat panel and of course there is the Herpstat.
The key is to not piss off my lovely, understanding of my needs wife. I'm walking a thin line here so keeping it low $ is the key. However, like a lot of you here, I'm a very particular person and really enjoy high quality items that are within reason and when it comes to pets we go the full distance.
