If I'm unable to wait I'll likely settle for a Mirage price wise it seems an easier upgrade than waiting till I can plunk down 3300+ for a Kobuki and another 4oo+ for the foot pedal. Time to start signing up for overtime at my day job and beginning the torch fund. I may check out the Sidewinder too though I'm not sure of the capabilities for larger marbles heat wise on the sidewinder.
in the local glass shop where I some times hang out they run both the kabuki and the dleta elite. while the kabuki has more flame variations they tell me the delta has more heat.
As far as foot pedals go you can build one easliy for around $100 I am very happy with the one I built
