    I'd love to try a stock one to see what the magic is all about, but I can't complain about the red one. Zippy and light, have to stop with the indoor projects and start cutting some wood!

    What is your take on the 545?
    Like it better than the 550?

    The lack of stuffers gives it more case volume......

    What do you think of them?

    I think I like them... I've only ever run one though...
    And I like a little more case volume...
    What are you finding they respond well to?
    No specifics, just generalities.

    Even less blowdown in this one Matt. I actually figured it would be a turd, or maybe not even run.
