Default Do you have a Mandolin?

Hi All,
Lately I've been getting this incredible desire to get a mandolin. Led Zep's Battle of Evermore is driving it I think. I just love that song and the haunting mandolin playing in that song. Do any of you out there have one? Do you find yourself playing it much? Is it difficult to learn if you already can play the guitar fairly well? What are some of the differences and/or similarities in playing a mandolin than the guitar? I think they're lovely instruments both from a sound perspective and a visual one. I know I could have posted this in another section of the forum, but I seem to *know* the people here more and value their opinions accordingly.

Regards,
IG
