Thanks for the info, bro; and I totally agree.  You know what else is cool
about these is the way they can be mounted at any angle.  I've got a smaller
one up front in the NAUTILUS running some fans, lights, the sonar, PA, and
COM gear.  Had to shoehorn it in sideways between some ballast valves, a
scrubber, and a ventilator.  Works just fine.

Superior power to weight ratio, no off-gassing, versatile mounting, pressure
resistant, and long-lived to boot?  Yup.  WELL worth the extra price.
