\i just got the slim and still have my old 1.5 fatty. The slim is hot. i reckon it's well worth getting one. If i were you tho, i'd go to ebay and buy a pre-pandorarred one. (they are available and cheap, i checked)
that way you get homebrew immediately and don't have to face the rigmarole of pandora like i gotta.
I have no idea what to do.
