Absolutely do this!
You'll be fine either way, but I love my BassCat Puma! I love their customer support! I'm doing a bit of refurbishment on my 2011 right now - just replacing little odds and ends that are getting worn out from a cosmetic stand point, but still serviceable. I feel like I have Allen on speed-dial these days. They are very helpful over at BCB.
Unless something changes radically over there, I will always be in a BassCat boat from now on.
