Mal -

Yep - you're right ... 'bought a fair bit of kit, seen how well it's
made, will soon start to install it ... did my homework quite
thoroughly, compared several systems, and the detailed evidence of
David's (and now Paul's, and Jon's, too) installation & experience,
plus the level of support that comes from the guys at Idratek, was &
is really quite convincing ... very cost-effective, very well thought-
out ... well worth considering !
