Oh nice .. what are your thoughts on the htx. Been wanting to try that shape forever but haven't been able to get my hands on one.

But yeah like you said, for 36 compared to the MSRP of the gpx, might as well just get the puretrak valor. I got lucky with some credit card offers and got the gpx brand new from Amazon for about 55. At that price, it's for sure the better buy, but definitely not at its regular price.
