Message	Your choice is obvious: why pay more for essentially the same thing? MS performance at budget pricing!! But wait... what's this?!? Woah, forget that AMS overpriced shit: The invisible hand strikes again... thanks Ayn! A copy of a copy... cheaper yet again! Just check your sense of morality before adding to shopping cart! In fact, I'm sure you can chisel another $ 20.00 out of the seller if you're bloody minded enough. I'm done, thanks for playing. Cheers,
