I just read read your post and looked at the time line, I was laughing inside knowing very well how u feel.. I dont have the pro mold but i do have the 8 cavity and I am the same way before buying a high dollar mold. I have made my mind up to buy it just wanting to make sure im right on the purchase so I ask my wife, brother, and kids what they think about the mold..... In the end it really dont matter im buying it anyway!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with your 3.5 pro mold.......post up some pics, that is one of my favorite parts of this fourm is looking at the great products being put out by all the members...
