Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has directly compared the mk1 vs mk2 versions of the CTH-8550.

The mk2, even used, is quite a bit more than a used mk1 so I'm trying to decide if I should get the mk1 now or just wait for a used mk2 at a good price.

I'm also looking at a Grandinote Shinai, which is half the price of the mk1, but it's 12 years old.

Thank you,
Arun
