A lot of promise in this product! I played with the thought to
get the 4000, but this 80lbs behemoth is a tad out of my league,
so my wife.

Please observe that Wilhelm has already a 6 pages paper with
durability tests of R1800. I wonder if they really got a
prototype so far in advance, or meybe just reworked another
paper base on existing results!
