RE: Larger Revolver
Granpooba - Having flown the Rev 70 \ DLE 20 combo I can tell you it's a great combination. Seems to have about 1.5 times the power of my Rev 70 \ OS 120 4s. (am about to start rebuilding the Rev 70 \ DLE 20 soon). Since you're getting the DLE 55RA I take it you're going with the tuned piped option? Are you confident of finding a path for a pipe tunnel? If not tuned pipe, why the DLE 55RA?
btw - I also live in NY (though not upstate, like yourself) and I fly all winter long. Love flying on skis in a field of snow.
