I have mentioned to Eugene in the past that I would only hope that when he is done with all the 6 piece EGTB's if he might consider that 1-5 set and the jury is still out. I am sure that those positions like 1-5 or 1-6 should solve pretty quickly and I would do them if I had the extra equipment to do so. Thanks, Les
