New Mandolin £300- £400

[MandoHenry]

Hi i'm looking for a new mandolin at the moment. The three I have found in my sort of price range are the:

Gold Tone 55a £355

Kentucky 505 for £360

Eastman 305 for £336

I'm swinging towards the Eastman and getting it imported through Giannis Violins. But I would like to know which is the best one out of these.
Thanks Henry

Check out this thread (tends towards the Eastman I think):
