Thanks, Tim, for not going there. I've never known you to start a controversy, and would hate to see you start.I'm actually kinda torn myself--I'd like to keep the feel of stainless, but I don't want the vinyl covers because it looks like clothesline--old, dingy, faded clothesline eventually. And I figure I could splice my own instead of having to pay a rigger if I went high-tech line. But... would I feel as secure? Sure, the high-tech line is stronger. Would it FEEL stronger? Would my passengers believe it?Wonderingly,David ShaddockPixie, '77/07 traditional interior/standard rig/hybrid power/wheel/bare stanchions for now
