You have to make a fairly large investment in material. You have to do what is necessary to come up with scaling, which means a lot of measuring and writing down, plus contacting someone or purchasing software or whatever. And you are going to have to learn new techniques for working with a different material. All this on a bit of a bet: some people say it's worthwhile. Is it? If not, you've wasted a good bit of time, money, and irritation. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size: 12.0pt'>I really like what Jurgen is offering: scale plus enough wire to do a job plus a bit extra. Much less of an investment in time and hassle. If it is as good as people (like Jim Busby <G>) are saying, then you go the extra mile.
