flapping in the wind

I have an R-121, and it is really smooth. I am intrigued with the Naked Eye as well, since C&T are willing to let me try it out at just shipping expense. I heard the it described as less dark with a more defined bottom - that is appealing, because my only complaint about the R-121 is the usual neccessity to EQ out the low mids.

2 questions for all you ribbon veterans:

1. how loud do you record when you put that R-121 right up on the grill?
2. how do you know if you've screwed it up?
