Default I think its worth it IMO, but I wouldn't want to spend $4000 for the stage three compared to...>
$1600 for a K04. But thats my opinion plus factoring that I'm broke as a joke, hahaha :-)

Default That's something to keep an eye on.
I've book marked it. Waiting for the price of the stock position version to change from "TBD". Nice bolt on for $1200-1500.
