Don't lump all of us CO folks in one bag.  Any time anyone tries something 
different, it adds another valuable data point to the collective knowledge base. 
 In fact, I'd argue that any one of the CO guys would be very interested in 
hearing the results of varying methods.  If you want plug and play... maybe the 
$2k ASW setup is what you need.  Personally, I want to try something 
different, even if it ends up costing more than $2k.  Why?  This is my hobby... and 
it's like a rolling science experiment to me.  I don't want plug and play.  I 
want to try different things, and to learn as I go.
