Leave the sub, save for the GMT II.

So I wanted to follow up on this thread to let you all know what I ended up doing!

I returned the GMT... I wore it home from the store and started thinking...

While I loved the GMT, I could not justify the purchase to me based on the fact that I already have my Sub as well as my DJ. Typically, I wear the DJ during the week, and the Sub gets weekend / holiday / vacation time. This has worked out really well so far. The question that I kept asking "me" was, "where does the GMT fit in?" If I kept it, what would I do with the Sub? Let it become a "safe queen"?

The AD was very cool about the whole thing and did not bat an eye about the return. The guy I deal with totally understood.

So, for now, it is back to the original for me. I am wearing the Sub as the DJ is at RSC in Dallas getting serviced.

I did some further looking at the AD but nothing really jumped at me.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate all of the feedback!
