So with considerable self-restraint, I decided not to buy the Autocord. £150 is too much to splash out on what would have become little more than an ornament.I am seldom able to resist something I've spent considerable time looking into. For example, and unlike Mr. Robbins, I succumbed to the urge to buy an Autocord a few years ago. Here it is languishing on a shelf.
I rarely regret buying unnecessary gear, but I would like to learn to avoid it more often.
