Salt - Sadly the first one bailed out. So I lost that one. The second one is doing ok. Some days its better then others. I've only had them for about 3 months. The colors are holding up, no problem. However, there hasn't been any new polyps yet.
I know what you mean about being guy shy. It's hard to spend alot. Fortunately I had a wonderful beginning. Where the pieces I bought did great. So that gave me the confidence to move forward. I know others who weren't for fortunate. Either they died or whatever. But it made it hard for them to spend that kind of money again.
I would say do what you feel comfortable with.
