Meh', your half way through the season and you finally got your jiffy tuned.  Wait till the deals come out in the spring or to see if they shake out any bugs and have a better model for the fall.  JMHO

I want to get a 6" gas auger. I feel my 10" is overkill about 75% of the time. I would like to own both. Anyone have any ideas on deals?

Might look into just changing the shaft out instead of having two augers.

Hey...

For what it's worth, I was at Dick's in Worcester yesterday and was checking out the Ion. They were selling an 8" model for $374.99. Had a few in stock. Called them again just to double check when I read your post. $374.99 confirmed!
