Go with BBRV to begin with, their support is truly top shelf.
Don't be so hard on yourself, I fried 2 G4's in the last 2 years and Bill Buck has stood behind his product.
Lastly, I would say that being busy with Girls can be a great thing... Enjoy yourself time flies, I have a wonderful wife and children and a busy carreer, I only use my peg for financial matters and little else these days...
