Default RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Nice building jobs! Looking forward to seeing some finished-photos!
I just crashed my CG Ultimate after 11years and approx 2-300 flights... It was powered by an Os 1.20, and hovered on 3/4 throttle.

Now I'm building another one (I just LOVED that plane!!), and have to buy a new engine due to the sudden ice-impact of the old one!
I see you are using the Saito 1.25. I am curious as to how the Saito 150 would fit into the model? It is theoretically only 150g heavier, and should produce enough power to pull the Ultimate out of hover??
Anyone tried this combo, or has experience with the 150? How is the Os - Saito comparison with regards to temperatures below -5C? (The Os was a handful to start below 0C, but worked well with a starter). I've never owned a Saito, så I'm just curios....
I am a bit afraid of the vibrations, as rumours say the 180 has a vibration problem.
