Jason and Mark: you guys must try looking at this from my view point. In the years that I have used a Dubro tank and the pleated paper filter I have NEVER (not even once) had even the slightest issue or flame out due to them. Yet in those same years I have seen two issues and/or flame-outs caused by properly installed UATs.

Therefore I can only conclude that A) the pleated filter/Dobro tank works BETTER than the UAT (in my direct experience), and B) it costs far less than the UAT.

So from my point of view I would ONLY choose the pleated filter since it is more reliable (in my direct experience) to protect my investment.

Now, I will concede that UATs do seem to be reliable enough (just not as much so as my home made header), so if I did not have the small amount of time that it takes to make my own, I might purchase a UAT. But that is not the case.
