The big question is whether you will replace the IMSB or not. Once you decide to replace the IMSB, why would anyone try to save a few bucks on options with little or no real world track records when the cost of being wrong is in the thousands of dollars.

When considering an alternative to LN products, ask yourself: what is the real benefit of the alternative choices? No one claims their IMSB increases engine performance or mileage. The only real value I can see in the alternatives is they may have longer service lives. So ask the vendors: are they willing to claim their products will last longer than what LN claims for service life and are these vendors willing to stand behind those claims with their wallets?
