Subject: 20b vs. Renesis for Lancair ES?

I think I’m going to buy the used 20b I posted about a couple weeks ago.  But over the weekend I read that a stock Renesis engine makes 250 hp and can easily be tweaked to hit 300.

 

So my question, before I commit myself to the 20b, is whether people recommend bumping up the horsepower slightly on a Renesis (lighter engine so less hp somewhat offset by weight reduction) rather than using a 20b.  I haven’t seen any recent discussion on this and couldn’t find anything in the archives, but I’m sure it was covered at length at some point.

 

Is the Renesis a candidate for an ES?

 

Thanks,
