With most online retailers Gold Tone TS-250 is twice as expensive as Gold Tone CC-Tenor. Do the "advanced" features of TS-250 justify price difference between the two? From the specs I see that the two banjos are mostly identical: nothing like ebony fretboard or gold hardware on TS-250. All the major upgrade I can see is in the brass tension hoop, planetary tuners and nicer finish.
Any advantage of getting TS-250 over CC-Tenor?
