I am sure speed in a factory setting is of utmost importance. I am not sure
that either of these methods is inherently faster then the other, but then I am
admittedly inexperienced in the hang first approach. Seems to me that from what
I have read so far that both would end up about the same actually....

Well like I said this was only one reason. I like to choose which hammers to
use for another, and this is becomming more important the more I delve into
Stanwoods thinking. Still another reason is the expense. Factory prehungs are
very expensive here.
