Thanks for the feedback.

I did pickup a 2700 when it dropped ~$30 for a weekly sale at OfficeDepot (5/2-5/8/10). And later that evening went shopping at Sams and found a 3-pack of 26 FT tapes for ~$30.00 (had bought a two-pack at OD for ~$40.00 which I'll return).

Will give it a try and see how it fits into my workflow.
