I'd never pay that much for anything without playing one first, what kind of sound are you after?
To me, the Bongo sounds alot like a smoother, and more versatile due to the monster EQ and cheaper Warwick,
The 34" is good (I like both 34 and 35 so all good for me) but I don't really like the neck heel but thats all personal stuff, i didn't find it too heavey the few i've played.
I'd say play one first though!
I really enjoyed playing the HS version suited pretty much everything I threw at it!
Also, why ordering one from the states? Out of curiosity,
