Bob,
I'm in the same situation. I *almost* bought a used Series I about 5 months ago from a club member, but had a family emergency arise which diverted the funds I had set aside.
Now I find myself playing stuff where I really need the 5. I'm waiting, I've got a deal worked out with another club member for one of his 5's when the time is right. If you had posted this a few months back, I would have jumped all over it.
Good luck~
