Thanks for the suggestion, but West Marine's price is high ($107 vs. an average of around $80 on-line), so I'd be unlikely to buy there. And I don't believe in using a store for examining a product when I know I'm not going to buy it there. (I find that often. Even in comparison to some local stores. Which is why I tend not to shop at West Marine.)

Perhaps I'll forgo this item until and unless I run across some other (local) sailors that have one-or-another of them. I guess there are some things that just can't be resolved on-line .

Thanks,
Jim
