What are the price differentials to PE, J (and just for kicks, F)?
If you are willing to spend $500, might a bit more be worth it for PE and how much more would it be for J?
As always, this is a subjective call and nobody here knows what $500 means to you. I would spend the $250 per person without a second thought. But, that is me. Is $500 needed to keep your mortgage current or is it what you drop at happy hour after work?
