I guess I agree with most in that I would like to see a few $100.00 + dollar ones and a few small, simpler $50.00 ones and some middle of the road $75.00 ones.

To answer Dave's question directly, I would have no problem buying a piece in a "now" state, rather than a "then" state. Like for instance, a Crisp Point, tower only and maybe a few remains of the keepers house. I certainly would have preffered Little Sable as I see it now, ruins of the keepers house and the red brick exposed then as it was long before I was around. I tend to live more in the present and future when it comes to H.L.'s than in the past, which is why I don't own any of the "Gone but not forgotten" lights. If I can't see it, I wont buy it. Give me some ruins and cut the costs by all means.

Just my opinion.
