How much can we justify spending?

[faraway]

...I stopped buying the high price models and turn to LL P2K that can be had around $60.00-in fact my 2 LL P2K SCL GP38-2s cost less then the price of one Geneses GP38-2 at street.

I mention that on another forum and was told those P2K GP38-2s wasn't up to today's standards (by whose standards?) and had several detail flaws (so? I'm happy with 'em).

I did the same over the last couple of month. A German online dealer sells some of the last P2K GP38-2 at a reasonable price and I got some of them. I am very satisfied. They are smooth runners (after replacing the axis and the honey with grease ) and the details are at least for me fine. Conversion to LED is much easier than with high price Genesis engines.
