thanks for your help.

understood, thanks for your help and comments.

great info, yeah the 93K is their smallest, i kind of forgot about the turndown

so in your opinion do you agree 130K is way too big, and 60K or so would do just fine. Crazy thing is going from 60K to 100K is only a couple hundred bucks.
