Thanks to everyone for the advice.  After weighing the various options 
(and knowing my brother as I do) he would be insulted if I don't let 
him do the wedding a primary.  He has done others for friends and has 
taken it in stride.  He'll shoot primarily digital, so the mistake 
factor will be slight (plus he'll also shoot Hassy , I'm sure, as he 
just bought one now that they are affordable used).  The wedding is 
outdoors at Lakeside resort on Lake Erie, so it will be pretty 
informal.  I was thinking a KEH gift certificate.  (BTW, his wife is 
doing music and daughter is flower girl --  how's that for keeping it 
in the family)
