I took the plunge and purchased a SP20 from Maxime. All and all it was a good experience.

He was going to send it regular Canada Post to me in western Canada and I asked if he could change the shipping to get it to me faster. To make a long story short I ordered it from him last weekend and received it today. He even refunded me $40 USD because he got the shipping cheaper then originally thought.

Maxime did tell me he tested the unit and upon inspection when it arrived in the original box it looked fairly new to me.

Yes you can order one direct or if you can save a lot of hassle like I did and just have one shipped across Canada for about the same price.

I just started hashing and I suppose time will tell if I made the right decision or not. Will update if something changes.
