Lighten up!  I was merely listing what i saw as the positive and negative
traits of the propex vs. the plat cat so that people could evaluate the two
relative to their personal needs/wants.  The propex is several times louder
than the plat cat.  that is a fact.  so, relative to the plat cat, the
propex is noisy....er.  Noise is one consideration someone might want to
weigh in evaluating or deciding between the two heaters.  I believe i noted
in the original post that the noise is not too bad, and that you get used to
it.  i never said that the propex is no good because it is too loud.  to the
contrary, i think it is a great heater, even if it is a little noisy.
