Re: New Power Distribution

we DISLIKE IT WITH A PASSION. we'd always buy one large breaker box that held the 40s and 30s (or maybe 20s?) on one convenient panel. it was great because it was compact, clean, and LIGHT. this year we're bummed because we have to use the KOP stuff - especially that gold plated 40 amp box. it's such a waste of weight.

I think those power distributors are nifty but they take up too much space. it's a cool system and I like the design, but it's just another thing that's replacing something that worked fine.
