i tapped the DW9000 at the store a lil bit but i didnt feel nothin..maybe it will be different if i actually played on it....but i could really tell the difference in the DW7000 vs DW5000...the 5000 was a lot smoother...because of those ball-point pins inside the chain....are you saying that the 9000 is smoother than that?...if so,any one else feel that way too?
truth be told: i actually got the DW7000 (it was cheaper) and will try it out at rehersal....but i have 30 days(gurantee) to make up my mind on the trade in for the 5000.
