I have both. And both a re very nice. The BLI unit has a couple of things to be
aware of. The pilot does not come with doors which would allow you to close it
and remove the front coupler. The other is that the diaphragm on the rear is
rather basic when compared to the Proto unit.

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?
