Again, why the CIMULATOR instead of the Versa? The Versa is a 3:1, versus the 2.7:1 of the CIMULATOR, so I suppose the 10% speed boost might be worth it. And the Versa is a whole ounce heavier. On the otherhand, the Versa is in-line, which seems more compact to me in most situations.

We're using it because the CIMULATOR can input two 550's and we needed more power for climbing. Looks cute sitting on top of the AndyMark wormbox too.

Not sure why you would use it with a 775 though unless...
a. already had one on hand
b. needed to save some weight
c. size profile better fit the design constraints
d. 10% speed boost is helpful
e. $5 cheaper and need to find a way to use the Banebot voucher.
*f. wanted to let others prove the reliability of the Versa's for a year before trusting the season to it.

*We are using several VexPro parts this year, but I do understand why others would include "f" in their list.
