I know used Acrolites are always great value... but that SLP is pretty great value for a new snare.
See, Long & McQuade often has the SLP on discount, which only makes it slightly more expensive than a clean used Acrolite... except it comes with a MUCH better throw-off (I have an SLP Fat Spruce and the throw-off is just superb), screws won't be rusted, hoops won't be twisted, etc.
Only Acrolite I ever go to test drive was the 6.5" version with 10 lugs, it was basically a slightly drier Supra for not much less money. I played the Tama a few times, and every demo of it online it just magnificent.
So... how about it?
