Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Did you post that time correct, almost 2 minutes to burn a screen?
Agreed Alan the LED units are great, but what in the world are you going to do with a good working unit you already have, anyone in the field knows about the LED and won't pay what an old unit is worth if your trying to unload one. Maybe these companies pushing the LED's will do a trade in or something unless you just have extra cash and keep the old one as back up, but do you need a backup to and LED hmmm. I know if I had bought one of M&Rs 3140 a few years back I'm still loving that unit and would love to have the new LED unit but would be very hard press to part with the 3140, unless production was at a rate I could justify the purchase. IMHO I think that might be the only reason the market is not flooded with the new LED units, it's like trading in your 2013 corvette for a 2014 because its 10 to 15 mph faster....I'm still looking forward to seeing the starlight in action very soon. sorry about tossing another brand in this postdarryl

LED will take over this deal pretty quick, so MH units value is going to be on the decline. Some would argue if your going to do the swap sooner than later would be better if you intend to sell a MH to help fund it.

Somebody must be selling LED lamps can can be put into a old unit.Why change the whole unit?At the moment LEDs seem to be overpriced.
