I think the OP's question could easily be answered if he added just a little bit more info.

Jabbasan, how much extra $$$$ would you be willing to pay to see this through?

$100?

$500?

$1,000?

$2,000?

$5,000?

More????

The question becomes a moot point if it obviously 'ain't gonna happen' for the amount of $$$ you feel you'd pay to do all this, so,,, what's it worth TO YOU?

IMHO, if ABS was available as an added-cost option, I'd go without ABS.

I've had both linked and un-linked before as well and either one is fine with me.
