Thanks, everyone. Great advice, good points.
If I get the Dedo's right now, that means no Kino Diva 400, which is on my need-right-now list. I'm going to get an arri 150 right now and stick to renting the dedo's for the time being.
But after the fine points put forward here, I'll set aside some cash (or hit some schoolkids up for their lunch money) and buy one or two dedo's down the road.
Thanks again,
CJ
