[Elecraft] On the fence about an Elecraft purchase?

[Clay Autery]

Not all Elecraft guys are "financially unencumbered", well, not in the 
way you appear to intend.  <smile>

I chose Elecraft because Dad taught me to buy the best tools I can 
reasonably get my hands on.
Buy the best you can and take care of it.

When it came to picking a radio, that meant Elecraft.
I made it a priority; it happened.  (Of course, I had a lot of help 
along the way.)

I wish all my amateur radio brothers every success so that they might 
ALL realize their best radio adventures.

Be well!
