If they offered an L1 with a doghouse, then I might have pulled the trigger on that one.
I got lucky on my M1. I had been out of the hobby and saw a video on it. By chance I called up my local train store which I had not been in for quite some time. He had the set, which was a surprise, I told him I would be there the next night if he was open, he said yes. I popped by the bank, got the money, drove down and paid cash. It was the best purchase I have made, all because of being lucky. He has had stuff come in, that I haven't ordered, and I see it for a bit, and it disappears.
