With the budget being increased up to 300, why not just go with AmigaKit?
With them you are protected and can be sure that what you are paying for is what you are going to get.
At least that is way I am looking at it.

I coincindentally am also from Ohio, and also looking to buy an NTSC 1200, but I am just going with AmigaKit. Two weeks and counting until I have the money, and then I can start buying games.......God the anticipation is KILLING me. I broke down and bought Bard's Tale on NES to try and hold me until then.
