Hi Ralph - Yes, I have considered those, and found a few.
I began to see that choosing one of those would box me into someone else's design choices, which I might be able to make work for me with some modifications. But if I'm making modifications, maybe I can design a whole chamber. So... I'm going down the path of "what if I designed it myself, what would it look like, what features would I add ?" It's an interesting exercise. Thanks for the suggestion!
