How many considered buying a Meriden before getting a Hinkley?

I was going to ask this question in the Scrambler Roots thread, but didn't want to hijack it, & thought it deserved it's own thread anyway. So I've expanded the question to include all the classic range.
I know that I seriously considered getting an original Trophy, instead of my Scrambler. But not being a good mechanic, I was swayed by the new technology & the reassurance of a two year warranty.
I don't regret my decision, but I'm wondering how many others thought, & bought, the same way i did. & how happy they are with their decision.
BTW Please don't turn this into another Hinkley v Meriden thread. That topic bores me to tears, & I'd like to partake of this discussion.
