What's the best buy for 2nd hand at 200 USD?
If you can swing another $39, this table is really nice. I just setup one for a friend of mine. I was indeed impressed.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002S1CJ2Q/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1PY0... 
Current or former owners of ARC PH2 and/or LS5
