Blake;

If you don't mind telling, what did the entire kit set you back? I
can't tell from the website.

Also, besides the obvious (that it's new and likely more dependable)
how does this compare with the Behr unit?

I ask because I have a Behr unit that several people have wanted to
buy from me. I can't install it until I get the TD engine into my
diesel westy, so it's not doing me any good right now. I'm wondering
if I should keep it or let it go, and just get a Vintage air when the
time comes.
