Thanks for everyones replies to this. I really appreciate it and feel a
little more knowledgeable now! I think it seems a bit risky and like I
would just have to take the jump and hope for the best with the DIMIA
which I'm not sure I should do. Think I will mull it over for a bit
longer. Thanks again for all your help.
