I'm not impressed, either, but ... their first indexing solution (positron) was awful. Their first SIS was nothing to write home about. Now, however, if I ever have to give up my 1973 MKM, I expect I'll have a ride that makes it easier to go faster. So the first gearbox may suck, but who knows? They may end up making a great one. After all, internal gears may have some advantages, and someone may be able to make that work....
