Hi Kirk,

I feel the pain knowing a good workable part shouldn’t be wasted. I’m that way too! But, after seeing the difference in illumination, both incoming and outgoing, my safety hat says to spend the money. I figure that’s one fuel tank less of flying, but higher chances of flying more in the future.

It also relieves a big draw on the alternator/battery.

Each his own justifications, for or not, but it is a good opportunity when the time comes.
