Re: Do you think this is a good deal?

I puchased the 14 bottles for 300 (plus shipping) Thought this was a good deal and the 375's will provide a nice window to what their bigger brothers and sisters will be like.

If adopting a bottle or space becomes an issue I can bow out (which would be slightly odd cause at one point in time I was hosting this event)
