[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 40954, member: 110"] Re: Want vs Need I think both TJ, and Jeff hit some of my concerns / "sore points" on the head... When I have to rent a piece of gear ( or several), this requires some logistical steps, in the gig process (picking up, dropping off) - pricing factors, and also the knowledge of the piece of gear itself. As an example, if I was being asked to provide a digital console that I had no working knowledge of, yet I could rent it... where does that leave me when a B.E. has a question, or asks me to route something etc...if it was something I owned, that would be different. Part B of this is what Jeff is saying - I have some pride in my business being able to offer the best equipment I can afford. If I can "afford" to buy a certain piece of gear, that isn't nessesarily being 100% paid for in a rental, but it's making my life, or experience in doing the show better, then for sure it's a "want", but something that might be justified... I appreciate all your views - it'll help me through my crisis, since these purchases I'm contimplating are not cheap (for my business size). PS - where the H@#$ is spell check in this new forum...lol - sorry if there are errors. SP [/QUOTE]
