Does anybody have any experience with the Kromski Sonata wheel?

[FrizzleFreak]

I'm looking to buy my first wheel. The Sonata seems to be exactly what I want!
For $520 you get
the wheel, which is portable (according to the Kromski site, worth$520)
the carrying bag (worth approx. $75)
Two pounds of white corriedale wool-carded(worth?)
A large niddy noddy (worth around $65-70, depending on a lot of things)
An attached Lazy Kate (worth?)
Three flyers (worth?)
Spinning oil
(this is on Ebay, btw)
And every review I've read has been glowing, especially for beginners. I would like more reviews though!
I'm going to go try wheels out tomorrow!

Its a beauty! Should be smoothly operational, too, unlike some of the older wheels that make you work hard for your end result so I'd say no, I haven't actually tried it but have experienced other wheels and you'd be getting a happy deal and years of joy I can't seem to give up my Ashford Scholar Mark II but would someday like to own a Schaacht Matchless double treadle in my wildest dreams...

Man, if I had ANYTHING made by Schacht.....well, I'd be living in a cardboard box for one thing! They are so expensive.
I looked at some Ashfords online, but none were as good a deal as this.
Thanks for your review!

I have a Prelude and I adore it. Kromski's are well-made, beautiful wheels. Hope you enjoy it

So did you get your wheel. I have and love my Kromski Prelude and would love they Symphony some day.
