It sounds dumb, but if it was closer I would buy it, if only to be one of the few that can say they have actually played it. Probably won't be too hard to get your money back at $1500. I've seen videos and it seems like it could be fun for a bit, about on par with an average System 11 game rules-wise. Nothing super deep, but it has some of the modern bells 'n whistles you get with recent Sterns. It would also be a hell of a lot easier to get up a set of stairs, something to consider for those that don't live on the ground floor.
