You can get favorable deals on the 690 series. Is the 890 series that much better?
Thanks for any opinions you wish to share.

I wouldn't pull the plug on the 690 just yet...
Sam Maloof still uses them... and I don't think he will change...
I think he's 92 now... Y'know that saying about teaching new tricks, etc...
He handles that 690 like it was a pencil in his hand... Light, easy to hold with one hand and do what you want it to do.
If PC is really going to discontinue it, I think Sam would "buy up" a few for insurance purposes... (expect the price to go UP!)
