Not sure if anyone is interested in what I would up deciding. But I thought I'd come back and report. I bought a The Loar LM 600 VS from Folkmusician.com. it was a blem model and Robert was kind enough to post some pictures. The only thing wrong was some discoloration under the finish on the binding along the neck. Otherwise it looked perfect. I'm is otherwise a mandolin outside my budget, but the Blem was right at it. Got a featherweight case and it's in the mail. I keep checking the USPS tracking number, hoping that maybe our fine postmen will get the hint and get it here sooner. I'll report back again when I have it in hand.
