On another thread a poster was comparing BCM to DD middies and made the statement that BCM had more experience with gas port sizes, etc. I'm not disputing that fact nor am I wanting to start a contest between BCM and DD, but that poster's statement says to me that there is still some experimentation going on with the mid-length system.
I do see advantages to the mid-length system, but I still have reservations that it hasn't been fully tested.
