Subject: RE: which reg.
Date: Fri, 9 May 1997 10:10:58 -0700
	I've been looking at the MK10+ & the MK20 first stages for a while.  I
like the simplicity of the MK10.  The MK20 looks like it has a weak
point in that the LP ports are mounted on a swiveling turret.  Either
first stage I get, I'll match it with the G250 2nd.
	What insight can you provide about these first stages?
Regards,

Dennis
