Thanks Mike! I've never been one to buy something because of the price if it's not going to perform the way I want it to perform! What is it Uncle Bob used to say about the thrill of a good deal being forgotten long after the quality or usefulness of a product is poor???? Having been around the GV units, I'm sure you'll appreciate just how useful that switch to a ratio half a gear higher can be!!!!! Keeping an engine in it's ideal RPM range is nice, too, along with just plain old torque multiplication that all these different ratio's can do!!!!!
