    G'day Joel, sorry I have been away for a couple of weeks. That is such a hard question, if you have the funds a full Australian owned and built unit for sure, they seem to be the best option, not quite the layout I needed, but better design and build quality. If not, try to go with a unit that has at least had Aussie suspension in it and check the companies warranty and back up services. What I was told and what actually was available were two very different things.
