Tom,

I'll start by confessing that I'm not using Bill's SB's and I haven't seen
the PF electric ones.  But I would have used Bill's if they'd been around
before I built my hydraulic ones.

PF, of course, was offering a cable pull SB prior to Bill's invention and
only came out with their electric system AB (after Bill).  I'm told that
Bill's have superior electronics and failsafe devices built in.  I have
flown an airplane with Bill's SB's installed and I have flown the earlier PF
SB's - There's no question about the difference.  Bill's wins out in a New
York second.

If there isn't some great price differential that makes PF's SB's
attractive, then I'd say go with the sure winner.

I've seen the workmanship and watched as Bill developed his product and it
amazes me that he could build  something with this high quality and
sophistication in his barn.

Regards,
John Barrett
