Thanks Chuck. Your point is a good one. In addition, as a frequent lurker on this forum, I have picked up on a sense of disquiet re the CoAx movement. There appears to be a certain hesitancy due to the fact that the CoAx movement (the Omega version thereof) has not really been around long enough to prove itself. To put this differently- the theoretical advantages to the CoAx exist in the form of a hypothesis that has yet to be proved. That hypothesis postulates certain advantages- and it seems only time will tell!
