I know I could've sold the 5146 for 30k online, instead of 20k to the AD but then I'd have to deal in the grey markets for a pre-owned 5226. Additionally, this keeps me in good favor with my AD. I will post great pix once it arrives. Thanks

Im not going to beat a dead horse but my point is that the AD made you believe the demand for this is higher than what it actually is. Hence secondary market pricing and they sit. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters! I want the 5226 as well and wasn't until I saw it in Geneva in the flesh that I came to that conclusion. Photos do not do it justice.
