mjwills commented on [AMA] Hi Ozb - I'm a Private Wealth Advisor
What super fund do you suggest to avoid CGT drag?

It is more determining what is the weak point and improving that. If you have a terrible grinder, for example, the rest is irrelevant. And…

You are certainly free to have that view. But experts like Hoffmann and Hedrick sing the praises of the Bambino Plus, and I am inclined to…

If a BBE is stretching his budget, he ain't getting an Expobar. :P

There is definitely some merit to "try a friend's machine first and see what you think".

A Bambino Plus will be perfect for the average newcomer. It has far less wait time on turning on - no need for the boiler to warm up. And…

They haven't been $49 base price for a number of years. At $50, they are incredible value.

These guys are _incredible_ value if you want to claim a pair of multifocals under a health fund - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/858393…

lbreav on $40 off Liquor (Min $150 Spend) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ $250 Spend) @ Coles Online (Excl. QLD, TAS, Northern WA, NT)

Sure - but that is well more than $112 - which was kind of my point. The OPs idea only works if 3L is $8. Which, well, it isn't.

Tri-band would be best if you want 250.

What speed internet do you have? If 100Mbps or below, tri-band isn't needed. If 250 or higher I'd recommend tri-band.

Was that the current model?
