James I have had no involvement in designing any IMS fix, neither financial or engineering. I've just followed the subject for years on several forums and been fortunate to talk to some of the developers. I do have a product development background.
I think you meant your message to be addressed to Pedro.
If you did mean it to be to me, I'd choose the product that best reduced risk and expense to me based on the available data at the time I made my choice. Not opinions or theories or marketing from what was the latest product.
We are dealing with 12 to 8 year old drive em till they drop cars, not collectables. Wonderful cars yes but these aren't 956s. I can't see putting $25k engines in a $10k car. Or the latest new IMS kit (and there are more new approaches coming folks) when there are good enough kits which will probably last as long as the rest of the engine will and they are so much better tested to do good and avoid harm than the latest and said to be the greatest. I value 12+ of real world experiences going back 4+ years over a few recent ones. When shopping for a washing machine, I also like the reviews based on long term use more than the just bought it and it is shiny reviews.
Is valuing real world experience fair to the new guys? No. So what. They have to prove themselves. Until then why would I buy into their marketing claims? What if they turn out to not be so good for the engine after a large number have been run in the real world. Low risk and good enough versus maybe great.
It's your decision and your risk and your cash.
