thanks Ian, reckon i will get used to a quality riser real fast.
moveing up from a samick aqella, though a real nice riser, found it had a lot of vibration and movement, and founf the grip qite thick.

Very nice! Be careful shooting in the sunlight though - I've heard that the highly polished surface can cause very bright reflections with slightly blinding consequences. That won't stop me getting one when I can afford it though!
