Why can't the Evo use the same bracket used on the Meg ?

Or use a DT box for example ?

DT box is a plan but they are so damed heavy they are not best suited to travel. Mind you I here there is a light weight titanium option.

No, there are a few light-weight versions floating around. They are copies of the original but very good build.

I brought one back from Sharm for my Inspi buddy, it is a lot lighter than the original since it is used hollow tubes on the sides instead of solid rods.

I should have said controllers, rather than handsets. I loved the Meg, I really want to try one. I always liked the KISS, but I want a unit that is computer controlled, so the Meg is a possible. I liked the lack of loop failier points on it, one of the major irritations of the Inspo is setting the danred thing up. I find myself getting it ready two days before just to give myself time to sort out any problems.

Things I was not convinced about the Meg were the catches that hold the scrubber lid on and the single c=handset based controller. That being said, they are really me, nit picking. I really loved it.

There is indeed a horribly expensive but v. sexy titanium one!

Using a SS box gets around the cylinder size thing. Mine also allows me to glide again, which is a nice change after the yellow brick....

Carrying multiple extra stages stops this though - and I tried mounting them all on the SS box wth limited success...
