Snagged with 8 remaining. Had to throw my hat in the ring too. I'm not even sure why I want one but who cares? I didn't want to end up wishing I'd bought one and didn't, like almost happened with the 858 Canadian Edition last spring. I'm guessing the lack of the select fire might be the "slight cosmetic differences." Here's to hoping they get through just in time for the whistle pig season. Someone previously made a good point about tax return timing. I won't even have to save to pay for it. Sweet.
