Thank you for the thoughtful assessment and reply. Yes I understand. I am usually leaning towards the door. My stubbornness really the only thing keeping me engaged.There is a reason to upgrade hw, because most are not going to be refiltering and they can benefit from it. In fact, i wager majority of the people purchasing will benefit from it.
I'm not leading the project because my goal is to minimize any vendor bought gear, I just feel it's the only way to control the quality of what I inject. I have raws coming..and if it tests out good, I probably won't be using vendor bought gear anymore..
It's exhausting fighting with vendors and even forum members to push for change, I'm sure you understand, half the time you're fighting with someone about it lol. Even a simply change of a crimp that's less than 10c gets backlash.
People want to put their Mast E in Styrofoam cup? Have at it. That would be another fun experiment.
