Re: Mandolin study
Some discussion of the Samick SM20E in this thread. Not much positive.
Either way you're getting a plywood mandolin with a magnetic pickup -- which I guess is more attractive to you, since you may want to play in a band with it. From what I can see, the two are similar instruments. I'd go with the cheaper one, but of course the condition of the used Samick is a major consideration. Note the post in the above-linked thread about top sinkage.
Good luck whichever way you decide to go.
