Could you expand on this? Just curious what you are concerned about.

I'm in the middle of a Bostig conversion, extremely happy with the support, and doing fine with the process, even though I started out pretty ignorant. I already know at least ten times as much about this engine as I ever have about any other. For someone in my situation, I consider part of the price to be "tuition", because I'm getting an education as I go. I really want to know as much as possible about this so that I can drive it with as much confidence as possible. I don't know how it compares to doing the other one you're looking at, but I am getting a strong overall boost in confidence about whatever diagnostic/maintenance I might have to do in the future as part of the package.
