wow. Kris, nice to see you getting along finally.

Hey, I gotta throw in another vote for the DA. I havent seen the 3W 106, but I have a feeling its a quality piece as well. As for the weight difference argument in favor of the BME, Sorry Kris, but I have to disagree with just about everything you said. The DA for the same price is a much better engine overall, and well worth any <unnoticable> <small> amount of weight needed to balance. The idle, transition, midrange, and top end are far superior to the BME, and it is much smoother.
Maybe BME will have a contender down the road with the 110, but right now, its not there, and for the same money, I would go with the DA - but I havent seen the 3W, it might be as good.
