very nice so far, I was just wondering why you went for the 1.3 instead of the 1.6? I though the difference between 1.0 and 1.3 was so small it's not really worth doing it, but I am more than ready to be told otherwise by someone that knows from experience :D

A 1.3 lump really is a vast improvement over the 1.0

I struggled to hit 65 in a 410, got 90 out of a 413!
