Ludwig is $300 more for a new 22/13/16.
Not too many used ones around though, if you're looking for used.
That was my opinion too when I read the first post.
Thanks wildbill. Ive actually run across the Legacy Mahogany for less than the Gladstone and they are new but still a little higher I think. Depends on my bonus
