Dufferin Shadow cue? Opinions?

Hi,

I just recently got into the game of pool and I'm loving every moment of it.
I'm still a real newbie but I'd like to improve my game by purchasing a
personal cue as the quality of the house cues where I play is very
questionable.

I recently saw a Dufferin Shadow for sale for $122. I'm thinking of buying
it but I'd like to know if anyone has any opinions on this cue. I did a big
search but hardly found any specific mention of it.

My second choice would be one of the Lucasi D series line (the cheap ones
$100-200).

If anyone could give me their opinions on either cue that would be much
appreciated.
