That Does sound like a Good deal !

To me having a metal-frame is Not that necessary !
Metal frame is Very Good but wood frame model has a few advantages over metal also.
(such as easier to modify)
The only real problem I've had with wood is that assemble-screws vibrate loose,
after several months of use, but it's not a big problem to tighten them again.

Just curious, why do you say the wood frame is easier to mod?
