    Scarab 255 Open ID/G vs FSH

    I'm aware this is the FSH section and that's on purpose. Did any FSH owners compare against the Scarab offerings before going with the FSH? I have an FSH on order right now but I walked around the Scarab 255 today to see what it was like. The power options are nice (600 HP sounds fun) and it's...

    Would you recommend the Scarab brand? I still feel like I'm a lot of hard yes's away from dropping $30k on one, but as for the physique, I'm not sure a Scarab could be beat, and I love their design. Would any of you recommend a different brand? I'd be using it to wake, and possibly tube. It...
