always wondered others opinions on this.. definitly has function.. but adds complication.. for some.... my question is why is only apexi offering this option.. 51mm isn't small either.. prolly end up getting one someday.. Ithink I found a barley used tial 60mm for 250.. waiting for this before I committ on an apexi.. I'd like to hear more about it???also
