I guess you are one of them OS lovers, just remeber I too own OS engines, and YS and MVVS and.... I have no brand loyalty really I guess you are right about them ASP and Magnums from the 80`s but maybe, just maybe things have changed some the last 20 years? There`s alot of highly respected names in here that are very happy with their Sanye engines from these days. I guess you are right about the LA 65 beeing a great option, it is cheap, more powerful than the 61 fx and much lighter too I don`t disagree with you on that so take it easy, this is just a hobby and I just gave my opinions about this matter, it might differ slightly from yours, but in general I think we agree on most parts
