Default Did anyone take advantage of Musicians Friend being down?!

I don't know if many knew, but last night musiciansfriend.com was down for maintance. Due to this problem, if you ordered by phone, everything on the site was 20% off! And if you ordered something on backorder, it was 35% off!

For 20% off I got:
Focusrite Saffire Pro40
Audix Fusion 7 7-PieceDrum Mic Kit
Behringer POWERPLAY PRO-XL HA4700 Headphone Amp
Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

For 35% off I got:
M-Audio BX8a Monitor / MXL 990/ 991 Recording Microphone Package
- M-Audio BX8a Monitor
- MXL 990
- MXL 991
- 2 XLR cables
- 2 boom stands
- Audio-Technica ATH-M20 closed-back headphones
- 2 1/4" cables

I'm happy with the rig. I can't wait to hook it up and start tracking.
Any opinions on the rig?

Did anyone else take advantage of the deal?

I have two pair of the sony mdr-7506. They are great headphones in the right situation, but in a dry climate, they will shock you in the ears with static buildup. It's kind of nasty. I'll be selling them both soon.
