Having just spent probably too long deciding before I actually bought one, I would only recommend you spend a reasonable amount of time doing your "on-line" research. But, particularly given your correct concern about fit, I would recommend attending London as I did last year. It'll give you a personal experience that you can't get on-line. I'm 6'1", around 245lbs, with size 12's. My SPF fits me well. The offset foot box may take some getting used to, but I found it fairly easy on my initial drive. The used market right now seems still to favor the buyer, and CobraCountry.com certainly has 289FIAs listed. I did very briefly consider building, but it wasn't for me! You need time, facilities and most of all expertise plus a strong desire to do it, none of which I felt I had!! If you have those, then it certainly should be a consideration!

Good Luck!
