Starting a build thread is long overdue. Many thanks to all of you contributing members I have been able to glean knowledge from prior to making a purchase decision. I continue to do so with each step along the journey. If the build thread format looks familiar it's because I shamelessly stole formats from other member's build threads I admired.
