Default Went into shop to buy...

An M6.Came out with an X Terra 50 for half the price.Now I know the M6 is the better machine but Im surprised so far with its depth and lightness and ease of use considering some of the !!!! reviews its recieved especially from europeans.Ironically also someone else did exactlty the same thing.

All the Xterra's are great machines. By far more bang for your buck. You won't miss the Whites at all...............

I think I would have preferred a round handle on it though.Feels a bit like grabbing a blunt knife with its oval shape.Will give it a proper test at the weekend.
