Curt, ... I have one of each and they all came along at different times. If I had to choose one based on my experience with them I'd pick the HiMite-20. I...

Alan, It's a prototype kit that I'm checking out. It will be similar to, but not the same as, one available for the RMs and HMs. More later -- stay tuned. ...
