I am still looking at the A-9, and are the sawblade sized frets a problem or are the just something to get used to? Some where on this site I was reading about someone that had their 9 refretted. I don't like the MK sized fret, but on there other hand.....

I've got an A-9 with small frets and a custom mandolin with big frets and I don't even think about it as I switch from one to the other.

The important factor, I believe, is how the action is set on the instrument. If it's right (to your preferences), then it's a very playable instrument regardless of the fret size. My problem is getting my fingers to come down behind the right fret position.
