Does anyone own (or are otherwise familiar enough with) both a BLI E7 and a
Walthers (Proto2000) E unit that can offer a comparison? They both offer a
version of an E7 with SS panels now.

It is really a shame that Walthers has not done a large number board Q E7A.
Hopefully they will get not only the steam generator right, but release this as
a large number board unit. ANyone have any idea why they might not have done
one already?
