I'm an April Fool: 5712G or 5164
Hi allFirst off thank you so much to all forum members for the advice provided to me in deciding between a 5164 and 5712. My AD notified me a week or so ago that a 5712G was incoming and had my name on it! At this point I was still deciding between that and a 5164. Was leaning towards the 5164 but who could give up an opportunity to see a 5712G in the flesh.Fast forward to yesterday and there was the 5712G right there in front of me... nice piece but I just couldn't do it! The 5164 had me and I told my AD that I'd have to pass and wait for a 5164. He then disappears and low and behold he appears with the 5164! You should have seen the smile on my face!!!Wonderful surprise and of course I pulled the trigger! Lovely piece... so light and comfortable
