Oh, I'm sure they've sold at least one :)

--but that doesn't mean there's anybody who read r.w that has one as
it's a pretty small population overall...

I do have the G0500 which appears to be similar. I like that machine a lot.

John,
Thanks for the input. That's the model I was comparing it too and to be
honest, I can't see any mechanical differences between the two. Specs are
the same, weight is very similar, etc....and yet the G0586 is around $250
cheaper. Just didn't make sense to me so thought I'd ask to see if anyone
has actually used one of these or seen one up close. Appreciate the
feedback!
