Well, thanks for the opinions everyone. I asked arround the field, flew a couple of planes with DA50's that came out at about the same weight as my projected weight and decided.

I mounted the DA50 tonight. Cant argue with watching a new one out of box start up and run no adjustments. There was one locally at LHS so I picked it up and am currently working on getting it tucked in the cowel.

In other news, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Yes, I installed my engine at 1AM 1/1/04
