thankyou for the welcome. im not familiar with MRI or ARE. Being in Indiana I know that LPE & Mallett are not far away. I've seen amazing things with a LPE setup but I also like Mallett's conversions at least the one's I've seen at Bowling Green. Anyway just wanted the experts oppinion on either of these companies....thanks

Both are great, expensive, but great.

MTI (Not MRI, typo mistake) are very good as well and are less expensive, but they are in Texas.

Call them though also, I think they are a forum vendor.
