I cheerfully accept all the enthusiasm for the R8, however R7's are
now available at an attractive price and would be an update over my
RE and I can use my R motor on an R7.  So, my question is, in your
opinion and experience, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the R7?
Have they been a satisfactory tool for you?
