Hi Derek,

I've had the 6.7mm version for about 5 years now & agree it is indeed superb which, is why i wanted more of them. I was rather shocked when i received the 20mm, its frigging huge!! Fortunately it will be going into the back of an SCT once i receive my 2" diagonal fm Bintel. Ill see how it goes i guess.

Thanks for your advice, it all helps in making informed choices.

Cheers

Carlton

Hope this is of some help.
Derek
