For that price, my recommendation would be to play it before committing.
Back in 2011, I went to Ukulele Source in San Jose specifically to buy a KoAloha Pineapple Sunday. I'd loved every one that I saw a video for.
But I wanted to see what all of them sounded like, so I played every ukulele that Smiley had in the place (other than the vintage ukes we'd have had to get a ladder for, and I don't know if they were even for sale.)
I played everything from $69 ukes and up, and every single Kamaka and almost every KoAloha he had, before getting to the Pineapple Sunday. I was not impressed by any of the Kamaka ukes - they were all friction tuners (which I'm not a fan of) and they just didn't have... whatever it was that I expected.
Then, I played the Grail - the Pineapple Sunday.
And it was missing whatever it was, too. I was crestfallen.
Finally, I picked up the last uke, the one I wasn't going to play, because it looked like a gimmicky thing, and I started to play.
After about 10 seconds, my wife and I looked at each other, and just said "Wow." No exclamation, no shouting, just "wow."
I played for about 10-15 minutes, and knew that it was The One.
Two days later, we went in and paid for my KoAloha Scepter.
To this day, the only Kamaka I've played that I really, really liked was Gillian's Liliu.

(The really funny part was, when I posted that I'd bought the Scepter, Gyosh knew the instrument, having recently played it, and sent me congratulations; We very recently were discussing a Compass Rose 5-string - the first Compass Rose I'd ever played from that same week in 2011 - that we both remembered from Sylvan Music in Santa Cruz. He had just seen Andrew from HMS with that uke, in Hawaii!)
