Thanks, Mark, that's all very helpful.

Yes, Bruce, I'll post a report on the RNTs traditionals and some pics. I'm really looking forward to those; they should arrive hopefully end of next week, so I might have the weekend to have a really good acquaintance session with them! If I do get the Boscos, I will remove the protective coating...I like the patina to come through. I also posted about the Boscos on the Magic Cafe and there were several people who offered the same advice--to take the coating off.
