    I have no experience with the metal gears so can't help you there. Mine has nylon gears and I've never had an issue with it despite using it hundreds of times. Whirley Pop has pretty reasonable prices for replacement parts too though, so I don't think it matters too much which you get initially.

    Yeah, the production is a bit overcooked for my tastes too. :( I am really looking forward to hearing some live versions of all the songs without that aspect though.

    Totally offtopic and unrelated: This topic got me to relisten to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, which most people will probably recognize the very beginning of as being The Excorcist theme song. I highly recommend checking out the rest of the 49 minute song/album though, if you haven't already. IMO it's pretty damn interesting and rather enjoyable as it meanders pleasantly from one melody to another.

    It doesn't look like either ship to Canada, unfortunately. But @tomf reminded me that there are services which forward US mail to Canada, so I will likely give one of those a try instead.

    Ah, good idea. I've never used one of those services before but have been tempted to several times on other things I can't get easily here in Canada. This might be the perfect opportunity to give them a try now though, given the weirdly huge price disparity on this product between US and Canada. Thanks for the reminder that those services exist!
