Thanks again.  Did a little more searching and found a comparison of CLA and Blackbird.  Between those, I prefer CLA, so I'm glad that's the one I picked up for a starter.  I'll probably wait for other deals to pick up any more at this point.  I think I tapped out my Black Friday budget with what I have and a couple other items I picked up.  Now I just need to get up from the chair in the studio and see if I can still move.
