I wouldn't get a pro/editing deck unless it was local and cheap (granted I've obtained pro decks local and cheap) The ones on ebay are expensive to buy and ship, and are usually wore plum out.

Quite true (though some omnivision models are not as reliable as others). All my better decks (S-VHS) were $10 or less goodwill finds...Heck my main workhorse JVC was $3. They still get decks here, but 3-6 decks VS the ~30 that would be there any given time 2-3 years ago is a downturn.
