I searched around, couldn't find another thread.
Is there any reason you would buy anything but the cheapest commlink if you were intending to upgrade it?
Because I'm not seeing any advantage to buying a Fairlight Caliban for 8000

and then spending another 11000

to upgrade it's response and stuff to 6, when I could just as easily get the cheapest commlink and spend the same upgrade cost, and save myself the cost difference of the expensive commlink.
Am I missing something?
