You are right. The R8 is pretty quiet by slr standards. But it might be because it doesn't have a built in motor. Something people here consider a liability, but I find very good. Other than the fact that it would be nice to have a motor attached. If it was as quiet as an EOS Elan and fast as an F5, then I'd say go for a built-in motor. Otherwise, leave them off! Glad to see you make the choice to the R system for the right reason. More versatility. Now, put a moratorium on buying and selling for at least 6 moths and live with your system for a while. Get to know it. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Ted Kennedy
