Bullwhip owners

i'm considering buying a david morgan bullwhip and need some feedback.
those of you who own one let me ask you a few questions:

1. did you buy it to complete the look or to actually use?
2. what kind of wear can you expect from moderate use and how long
can i expect it to last until i have to buy another one or is it
durable enough where longevity isn't a factor?
3. to what extent will wrapping the whip around trees/hanging from
whip speed wear and tear?

i've owned a whip before - a nice inexpensive rawhide whip. it wasn't one of those cheap ones without a handle. anyway, i bought it shortly after raiders and through much practice developed a skill in using it. i used it on everything and still have it today. it's frayed in some areas and torn in others. i know the david morgan whip is made of quality leather and can be expected to last at least twice as long. but, for 450 i need to know if it can be expected to have a considerable life span under moderate usage. maybe a whip faq could be helpful. thanks.
