It's down to two, now I need to make a decision

[flyingfencer 0]

So I'm looking to get my first rig. I'd like something that will last me for a while, so if I downsize I can keep the container etc. because I have little money. I hope to get into freeflying as I improve (long way away still) so Ill need something that can allow for that.
So after an extensive search on ebay and here I'm down to two choices which I think would work.

I would be switching the main on this one for a spectre 170 (mirage website says it'll fit). The trade should put me about even, assuming theres a market out there for a nitron 170 (is there?). I'd also add an AAD, probably a vigil so the frequency of required checkups is smaller ($$).

That one is pretty much all set to go. THe price may be a litlte high on it (what do you think?), and I can't find much info about that container/harness system (aka will it be good for my future plans at freeflying).

If you have any suggestions that'll help me narrow this down further I'd appreciate it. Or maybe I'm on the completely wrong track here, just let me know :)

The second one is priced appropriately. It's a fair deal.

The first one looks like a scam to me, honestly. The cost of the container alone is over his asking price for a rig, reserve and main. If you go there, definately ask for a mediator. The seller has no profile filled out. It doesn't look right.

You might try these guys also. I have bought from them and had good luck.
