Interesting story. Had to shake my head a few times while reading this thread. Think I'd do exactly what you did: a one time piece is more a collector's item then a musician's tool and if you got such a nice setup with the money, it's a good trade.
Some of their limited editions are actually a lot prettier then the originals: I like the snow and polar in black a lot more! But the golden one (did manage to find some pictures of it online) has a different impact on me, only strikes me as a luxury item and that's it!
We had some really badly treated Virus pictures of an old Indigo that's (kind of) survived a fire somewhere on this forum, also a "unique piece" in its own right. Anyway, think you should search for it and have a good laugh.
And remember: never care for the haters that lurk around the internet. cheers
