Icon20 FedEx brought my new PAM...

...351 (N)! Back to the dark side I go. I had a 312 and loved it, but was too heavy for me. This 351 is the best of all worlds to me. The Ti case is light (MUCH lighter than 312), love the tobacco and gold, and of course sandwich.

I had to get another PAM (and a new N) before price increase (or at least seemed like a good excuse to tell the wife). Had my AD place the order and got the call yesterday--came through in the nick of time!!

Sorry for poor iPad and Blackberry photos, but just arrived at the office via FedEx.

Enjoy that 312. My 351 N is 7x7 of 1500...so almost in the middle

Size matters...yes:
