if that 6k diff is still avail to you, i'd say go for maple. i could sense now palang you're experiencing purchase dissonance, which could turn into regret later on. instead of bearing with the 'what if' later on (what if binili ko yung maple? and other what ifs etc), get the better one of the 2 now pa lang.
most drummers are after maple, im not saying you should too but you see majority clamour for it is an indication of something rin naman.
now if you will ask me and if i were really in your situation, bangbus will go for catalina maple!
maybe you can put it this way (this is how i personally see it):
honda civic 1.8 plus may extra cash for bling bling 20inch mags = catalina ash
honda civic 2.0 sport&power complete! = catalina maple
dun na ako sa higher end of the spectrum and chaka ko na proproblemahin yung ibang kailangan, at least i have the better model to begin with.
pero its just me, you might have a different outlook. pero bukas na yan. you have to decide asap bago i-karga sa delivery van yan. otherwise, baka they wont take it back.
