So I ended up buying the Shadow that was on the market locally, and so far I'm very happy with my purchase-- there's a lot more to the game than I had previously realize. I also got the chance to play WCS at Pintastic, and I'm now thinking about buying one of those as well. What did you end up doing? You're local to me, and if the machines are, please feel free to pass along a lead to the WCS if you end up buying the Shadow.
