If I bought a Kramer classic pacer, I would wanna dump the pups for Alrich pups because I am gasing for a set. Or I could get an EVH striped series brand new basically played three times for what I would spend on the Pacer and pups. The Pacer would be hard to sell if I decided to dump it but the EVH has a decent resale value and demand so I think it's smartest to go with the EVH.
