.... if it makes you feel any better I spent $150 on Lightening w/ his brush and ribbon- so far he is the most I've spent on a single pony (even more than my ICY or NBBE Brazil baby Lofty). The best price I bought a MB at was $36 -Fireball.
Watch out those boys can be addictive!
I would love to upgrade my Sunburst, yours looks lovely! Congrats!
