I really want Juan's words and audio to speak for themselves so I'll hold off saying any more until I get his full report and audio. But here's a preview from him: "Your modified Apex 205 will make people think twice about spending thousands on a Coles 4038."
Michael, looking forward to that! I still haven't had a chance to compare the modded 205 to any other ribbons at the same session, but I'm definately likiing your version of the 205. Thanks again, Bill
