Awe c'mon gamble!! You can't throw in a $200 lawn roller with the purchase of a new 1040? (kidding /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif). Sign of the times anymore. Very little markup.
Thanks so much for the advice. After extensive research here (very helfpul) and budgeting on the move to OH, I have decided to go to a local dealer and buy either the 1042 or 1045.
