It is the litany of "anyone who makes a piston is going for the retard market" commentary that is beneath you. Or maybe, it's not. For EVERYTHING in human history that has ever been improved upon, there has ALWAYS been some know-it-all aping the old line, "solution in search of a problem". Probably the most overused expression of all time.
There is only one way to find out if something can be improved upon and guess what? It is not by arguing about it on the internet. I hope a bunch of manufacturers and end users make and use all manner of piston designs and through trial, error, and experience figure out if they are worth the effort. My bet is that once a commonality of design is decided upon, they will be a very good option. But, just like your opinion, its worth exactly what you paid for it, zero.
Back to the original post. I don't know but I certainly would like to hear/see more about this development. Any interesting links would be appreciated, thanks.
