Question Need jogger reps and shopping help

I'm an aspiring jogger. There are no paved roads nearby, but I have access to some private, fairly well-kept gravel roads. I currently use a Tike Tech x3 Sport double, which I like except for the fold. If I were to add a single jogger to the fleet, would a BJ Summit be a good choice for me? I L-O-V-E, love the BJ fold and :duck: just haven't been bowled over by the Bob revs I've looked at. (ETA- I haven't haven't gotten to drive one more than a couple of feet in a store, though.) Or, do I need to get two strollers- a stationary wheel jogger and an all-terrain walking stroller? DH would freak! I have a Blink for the mall and such, but many of our activities are outdoors. I was hoping the Summit could kind of do it all, but I need someone/a jogger with RL experience to help me. Finally, I was hoping some of you expert bargain hunters could help me find some deals. I've been browsing Tuscaloosa, Auburn and Birmingham CL, but I guess I need to know what I'm looking for first. TIA!

I have a BJ FIT and with slime in the tires I think it would probably do well on tame gravel paths. BTW I loooooove my BJ FIT as a jogger :)

Unless something goes awry, I think I'm getting a '10 Rev off of CL. :) I have been back and forth trying to decide what would be best. I hope I love it!

Update: I finally got to take the Rev out! It handled the gravel road just fine. I barely noticed the smaller front wheel. I think the suspension really helps. And the front wheel locks solid, which is absolutely essential on the gravel. It is also super-responsive walking "about town" with the wheel unlocked. My only minor gripes: 1) DD and DS both complained about the fold of fabric at the top of the seatback when its upright. And DD fussed about the canopy on her head when it was in the back position. I'm not sure those are things we can get away from in the 4+ group, tho. 2) I wish the reclined was one step.

Can I just close with an unexpected positive? I was so very pleased with how small it is folded. Yes, I said small. ;-) Compared to my double jogger, this stroller is positively tiny folded!

Thanks, again, everyone, for all the help! :)

PS- DS loves to use the footwell as a little seat when the stroller is parked. He crawls up with a snack and a drink and takes a little break. Super-cute! <3
