I had about 1000 jumps on a Sabre210 before I swithed to the Spectre. After 1K jumps the Sabre still flew great, but over those years of jumping, I came to the realization that once in a great while the Sabre was going to slam me. It didn't matter how careful I packed, new or old line set, phase of the moon or whatever. The slam frequency could be greatly reduced by due care in packing and maintenance, but sooner or later, slam! Just the nature of the beast. It was a great canopy over all, despite the rare slamming. I would suggest, if at all possible, you get a similarly sized Spectre or Sabre2. Both of these canopies have a reduced slam factor. You should also jump any canopy your thinking of buying at least for the weekend before putting your money down. Enjoy.
