I just got an RG350 from Sweetwater for under $400 - shipped! I returned a Prestige last week and the RG350 with the latest Edge II Trem has been stellar. I had a budget of $1500 as well and almost went with another Prestige model, but this RG350 seems every bit as nice as them for over $1000.00 less. The RG350 is discontinued, Sweetwater (good customer service, recommended) has 1 left.

just my .02..
