I agree with that. The CC's better for space and the IF's better for
design, so they are evenly matched.

I back you up on that. I remember loading the cannons on my Renegade Runner
when I was younger and having to turn the ship upside down to get it out.
Now (thanks to some people on ebay) I've got almost to many shooting cannons
(like 12 or something). Fortunately, I still think I've got enough
kid in me to play with them:)
Hasta La Vista, Sean
