I am guessing that the suggestions to get a pedal steel and forget about wasting time with benders are coming from people who already play pedal steel guitars.
In my case I've been playing lapsteel for over 20 years, and have owned a Duesenberg with benders. I didn't start playing pedal steel until last year and I'm 69.

But hey, sounds like you have your answer. And it is a good answer for now. Enjoy.

I am starting to enjoy the benders on my little lap steel, it gives me just a little more options and room to express myself. IMO it was worth it, of course I am always tinkering with something and I kind if like carrying around a Chinese Frankenstein lap steel. I have to say good things about the Peter's Benders so far they work great. I am glad I did that and not the "spoon" mod I was seeing on YouTube. LOL
