| Aye, mine's a paache as well, but I did look at the astec and liked the idea of renewable parts at reasonable prices(at least when I looked some years back).
But the thing that swung it for me was the 'feel' of the thing, the astec was just too small.
If you're the king that knows they will forgett to clean the brush, then the astec is well worth a look.
