C., this is probably way out of line, but here it goes. It maybe very useful for you husband to play lessinactive role in the process. Very good equipment is to be had in the US at very good prices. They can be shipped easily and insured using the USPS. I have bought several pieces from european dealers as well as shipped pieces to friends in Europe with no problems.. I suggest that he take an active role so that it will bring into focus the choices available and make him "buy in" to the choices. Good hunting.
