For you to have taken the time to spell out your dilemma above on such an issue may indicate that you suffer from "reissuing" syndromes.

You don't like waiting.. and the possibilities that await you when you issue?

Just reissue the d*mn ticket. AT least it's flexible.. and you can wait till the last minute to do so. Buy your QF ticket and if anything changes between now and then, you're scr*wed!
