    Bryan
    and others,
      Thanks for your opinions. Of the responses I've received, everyone seems
    to say that it works and "gives the most bang for the buck". I'll look at it
    with a more knowledgeable eye again at the show next weekend (and probably
    buy it).
    Thanks,
    Brian
