Whoooaaaaa!!!   AT this years convention, the difference between ET and a 
Coleman 11 were generally agreed upon as being profound, with the WT being 
preferred by the vast majority.  I don't know if there was a single person in the 
room that thought they sounded the same. 
   The same thing has happened in over a dozen other presentations.
