In the long run, absolutely. In the short run, if they have to take a
loss on the Mustang to drive Eclipse under - I'll bet they'll do it.
I'm not stupid enough to bet money on any of them, butttt! if I had it I'd
probably buy the Columbia 400 vbg.
Sorry but it just irks me when someone (Richard) tries to drive down someone
who is trying to be innovative and really hasn't a clue as to their chance
of succeeding IMHO! But everyone is entitled to their opinions. I
personally hope they succeed even if I'll never be in a position to benefit
from it.

Happy New Year to everyone, even the ones I don't agree with g.
