Kevin, I absolutely agree.  A better, less expensive design is going to 
interest a LOT more people.  As you know, I do this because I love it, I have 
no commercial interest in it at all.  So, if this design proves to be a 
winner and it has three elements instead of four, then I'm dancing in the 
streets!

Off to simulation land.
