Fathead for a TriggerFinger?

Hmmm... okay, here it is folks. Just a little advice from my friends here. I saw a M-Audio trigger finger on Craigslist for $100 (they go new online for $149) or trade. I wrote the guy and told him what gear I had that I wasn't using much and to be honest, I bought a Fathead ribbon mic by Cascade that I haven't touched since I started recording guitars with a used Groove Tubes GT-66 microphone I picked up.

Does this sound like an okay trade if I'm not using the Fathead? I wanted to use this on guitar, but just haven't really warmed up to it. Hmmm... the Fathead is going for $159 new... I have the stock transformer.

Sounds fair to me. In fact, I'm tempted to send you my Trigger Finger. Sorta. Yes. No. It's that tempting.

Actually I had to amend my thread title. I have the standard Fathead not the Fathead 2. The more I think about it though, I'm pretty much dragging and dropping MIDI grooves from Addictive Drums rather than playing in parts on something like TriggerFinger so I'll probably pass and spend a little more time with the Fathead. If I can't find a good use for it, I'll sell. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to have gear that I use once in a blue moon.
