I still think the TS-2 is a good choice mainly because you can get all the parts, including the rebuild kit which includes the bushings.
sure, you can get the "best cheep" on AMZN for $50 bucks less, straight from Shenzhien, but when one little part strips you are out of luck.
I'd be doing bottoim feeding on ebay "best offers" and pay the shipping for a used TS-2, and put a rebuild kit in it.
