SergeModular

My aim was to provide a few more data points for everyone to consider,
rather than take a position.

I have had to deal with internal power distribution issues in pre-STS
panels, a difficult problem to troubleshoot at best. However, my new
panels have been rock solid and much improved over the former.

Saying that only cosmetics have been improved is an oversimplification
of the maturation process of the system.

Regards,

Bill
