I didn't overlook pygmy kits. I'm gonna go look at their site again but I preferred the look of the Chesapeakes. The real clincher though has been price. I live in Canada and the exchange rate is brutal, but I have found a place in Toronto with Chesapeake kits at a fair price whereas a $750 pygmy kit would convert to over $1100 Canadian after the exchange is factored in.

Thanks for the input though. Dan
