Guess I will stick with the 911 SC.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I will continue watching this forum for more information as I find you folks are indeed knowledgeable and friendly!

Don’t be afraid of the M96; just be aware of its issues. You can upgrade to the LN/Raby replacement bearing for about what an extended warranty would cost you and sleep better at night; especially when you read all the horror stories about how the aftermarket warranty companies skip out on paying……… Just dial the price of an upgrade into your purchase price expectations and you’ll be fine.
