I have a "Star Performer" by Haung in D, and a "Silvertone" in A. The 
Star Performer cost a buck more, but I like it much, much better. If you 
go Huang, I'd recommend paying the extra buck without hesitation. Problem 
is, I'm a very new player and don't know whether the difference I detect 
is the modal or the key.
