A friend and I are looking to take a stage class in the spring and I was looking for some cheap used 80's (but newer, not 6351 alloy). I came across a couple of fairly new AL100s on craigslist and was wondering any opinions on suitability as stages?

Possibly not a related consideration, but interested in exploring sidemounting down the road.

Currently diving backmount 95s. Any input appreciated.
