| Nice review Dave. One quick thing. Stomvi uses some really heavy duty valve springs on their horns. I swapped out all my Stomvi springs for the Schilke light weight ones and it made a world of difference. They feel just like Schilke valves now. I sometimes put the Stomvi ones back in when doing Clarke type excercises on the picc. The Schilke springs feel sooooo easy after this exercise.
