Well we'd be up for trying a Silver Sea, although I probably wouldn't go over Thanksgiving or Christmas - have my Dad to worry about, and the kids and Grandkids and I think Thanksgiving 2007 we are semi planning a trip to LA, maybe with all the kids to spend TG with our best friends for 40 years and their gang - but its a long way off, so will be interested in seeing what comes up. Isn't Linda at B&K the Silversea expert? She might have some more info Karen - but of course you've already thought of that I'm sure, as thorough as you are.
