Something else I though of, you can usually sell your giftcards for cash on craigslist for maybe 90% of value, you can get the cash and then get a cue from anywhere.
you know I thought about that... If I cant find a decent cue on amazon, I could always do that and come here and just buy one from someone. Then again, if I can't find something decent on there then I dont think I ought to be buying cues at all as there are some pretty nice choices there, lol.

Little Al (hardtimes) 250-300$
But i hear his assembly line is a little slow.
Serious, true production: I would look for a old Mc'derm' c series maybe a D for
around 200-300........Before i purchased any new production cue.
Maybe a new low line Pred. if you like the LD, would be the best production cue imho

Honestly I have some nice cues Scruggs etc, and I still prefer using my OB 2 shaft on them over the original. Call me crazy but I think I could be fine with and OB 2 shaft and a cheap butt.
Are there any local dealers in your area? If so you can see most of these brands in person and might even be able to do some test hits. I love seeing wall to wall cues and suddenly one just pops out at you. Also you may be able to see if there are any major events coming up in your area. I know APA and BCA hold major events and there are tons of vendors. I personally dont like ordering cues off the internet. Like the see and feel them before I make a purchase.
Something else you can do, is click on the link on the top of this page that says "AZB marketplace". That is Seyberts.com. You can see if your gift cards will work there and their customer service can't be beat. You'll find all the same brands you mentioned plus OB and McD like some others have suggested
Yes, I will take a look at that, lucky. I'd be suprised if amazon giftcards work there, though.
Jburkm002, unfortunately the closest to me is a place called Robbies Billiards and all they have is a few Pechauers and a bunch of Mcdermotts. Other than that, there is Charlies Pro Shop at The Green Room in Baltimore, MD which is about 1 1/2 hours away. I go to Baltimore for playoffs in early October so I may hold out to test hit a few there and see if anything "pops out" as mentioned.
As of right now, after looking at amazon... My choices are leaning toward either the Predator 6 point wrapless roadline, any Schon in the 500 and under price range and then there are 1 or 2 Joss cues that looked pretty nice. Its mostly between the Schon and the Predator Roadline right now. Its not bad to get a decent looking cue with a predator low deflection shaft but then again for an extra 80.00 you can get a Schon for 500 that has ebony and Ivory inlays if you are into that.
So many choices!!!

There ya go. Offer up your GC's in trade in the WFS section and see if you can't find a Josey. Nobody on this forum can say anything bad about a Josey

Mezz hit
You asked about how a Mezz hits. They hit stiff. Very similar to the hit on a Schon or Joss. I think they are all comparable. You just have to find out how pretty you want the thing to look. I shoot with a Schon LTD that is matched up with a Predator 314-2 shaft. Love it. Your resale value is going to be great on all 3 of these brands.

SCHON or JOSS
I'm playing with a Joss with a Z2 shaft, and I'm fine with him.
If I had to choose from Joss, Schon or Mezz, I'll take a fancy Schon, they seems to keep their value better. If you don't care for the look, take a Mezz.

i really love my Lucasi Hybrid.
most underrated cue out there, imo. much better feel than Predator, and i like the shaft taper better than OB (which is otherwise a great cue, as well).
Thorsten Hohmann seems to hit ok with Lucasi.
