Please forgive the contrary opinion but I've tried quite a few Warburtons and I don't think the system works. When you start ramdomly screwing on backbores with different cups there is no way to get a proper transition, or even flow. I noticed this when cleaning two piece models while screwed together with a brush-- the brush gets hung up in the inconsistent area. Unfortunatley I've found the Kanstul two piece replicas (based on the Warburton treads) to have the same issues. Too bad because their philosophy of basically copying everything in the quest for the perfect piece looks like the ultimate on paper but it just doesn't work in real time. Plus-- this modular bull seems an almost unholy method of extracting money from ones billfold... "Hey, this #5 backbore works pretty good, how about blowing some more money on a #4 and/or #6?" And then to top it off, for a modular system where you are encouraged to buy 20 more pieces than you'll ever need that are WAY overpriced. The very lightweight design also presents some issues.

Some seem like them though, so one must concede that.
