It seems like your gonna get one anyway, but once bitten you'll buy another then most likely another. Then usually you will sell off your first to get the second and lose big time on your first. So if your gonna get serious into Mling then save and get a little better one so once your onto it you'll be satisfied with what you have, for awhile at least.
From recent post I have read there are some Wal-Marts selling TC Triumph's for around $175. Do some checking around you'll be surprised at what you may find.
Good Luck!
