Talking only about engines of course (forget features): MG-->C/MG2 (MEDIUM) and C/MG2-->CG3 (BIGGER) were both IMO bigger jumps than later, and maybe *one* of the later jumps was backwards... >Remember all the dedicated machine time, this was only hardware- and >also genius times.

I said CG3-->CG5 (4 I ignored entirely :-) ) is ***"not more than"*** R8-->R9. So it can be the same, or less. We are not saying such different things, Thorsten!
