Thanks for the tip! They certainly seem reasonably priced. And as far as enlargers so, I bought a Meopta Opemus 6 in Thailand(!) about a year ago, along with a Meopta enlarging lens. As far as I'm concerned, it's a very good, sturdy enlarger. I've grown very fond of it. I've lugged it around with me wherever I've been and have it here now. I've read they have a close focusing ring adapter for it that I'm going to pick up while I'm here.
