Lovely!

I was going for the One Series 200 head, and a black cab, but the store hadn't one and offered me a rebate on the artisan cabinet instead. I asked if there's any difference, and they said no. Was that true?... no idea!.. but it sounds great with the head and looks quite beautiful with a black head and wine red cab. I'm happy.
