fishfry95,
yes that is a good deal on a FL 12 as long as you are not wanting to upgrade to a unit with the auto zoom feature on it. the FL 12 is a flat screen version of the FL-8SE and the only difference is that to get into low power mode with a FL-8SE you need to buy the s cable and with the FL 12 it is built into the unit so no extra cable is needed.
I just got a FL 12 last month as a spare unit and took it out last night and it worked great.
