Well, I was speaking from the idea that theirs is prolly a good design on 
functionality, not so good on weather-tightness...  I think that is the 
biggest reason why folks have not been impressed, or not stayed impressed.  
So, if we could duplicate their design with the FET thingies, and make it 
weather tight, seems like it would do better.  However, I agree, dyno time 
would be the best to demonstrate that we have got it right (or mo' better)...
