I'm pretty much between the Magnum XLS-46, SuperTigre GS-45, and SuperTigre G51. On RCU's reviews page, the SuperTigre wins out, mostly to leaky carb on the Magnum.

If you hadn't noticed, I'm buying from Tower because of deals they have and some credit I have left over.

Thanks.

I'd argue that the SuperTigre is far more "leaky" than the Magnum, and I'd demonstate this on my ST .61's and .75 which will run even after I've plugged the intake hole with my finger! ( and yes the ring seal is in there, this is not the point of the leak... ).

The OS are a breeze to tune and set up, but also don't overlook the Tower engines too. They are a great deal for the money, but require a bit more break-in and TLC. ( you are advised NOT to touch the needles as they come, until you've run at least a tank or two through them. ).
