I bought it brand new in 2007 for about $27k I think. If I did it again, I'd go with the darker interior because the light stuff is really hard to keep clean.
The biggest drawback I have right now is the limited rpm range of the 20g. Even with the TD06 housing it still gives out around 7200 or so. A gt35 might get me to 8500 which is where I would like to be with this motor since it has a 9000rpm redline, but again budget stuff...lol
Well I have been looking at replacing the current one I have. I just can't afford a GT35/40 right now, so replacing the crappy 20g I have now with something a bit better seems to be the best choice.
