This is a very hard choice... All of the XJs here are awesome in their own right... I admire the work that has gone into dukie's, but LR2 and ORF's are just as sweet. Damn, choices choices...

Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo.......no, no no......okay, if I divide the sum total of the the parts by the......no, that won't work either.......HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE RIGS!?!
All 3 are great, they all look good, they're all capable rigs......Whoever wins it definitely deserves COTY. Andy, I love the chop job. ORF,amazingly clean build. Justin, don't know what it is exactly - it's clean, it's been built well, and to me, it's just got "something" that makes it stand out. Dukie gets my vote.
