Well looks like in can put metering blocks on and still go inline. That makes linkage a lot easier. Going to get the pod tops to connect them together. Thanks again for all your input.
That's good. The inline linkage is cheaper and espalier to do.
The thing is, you can use what you have, add the metering blocks and learn to tune without spending big dollars. You can always buy something else later.
I advocate making them run and drive and use them, and upgrade as you go.
