Re: Main Power Terminal Blocks?

I don't mean to be un-gracious, but what is the point for this new power distribution block? It is taking up a great deal more space and weight. The Maxi fuse block is designed to take like 4 or maybe even two gauge wire. The other panels have big enough lugs to take a terminal for 6 gauge wire. In the past, we would always run 6 gauge wire off the breaker to every panel. Why this intermediate thing? To me, it is like driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco by passing through Wyoming. Is there a good reason for it that I'm not seeing? If not, can we rally for a rule change so it isn't required?
