Joe,
I don't have a VB catalog here, but I doubt the VB stacks have the full radius
entry of the TWM's, something I believe to be a major consideration for good
air flow. I don't know who carries the TWM's but hopefully they are less
expensive from a distributor, than directly from the mfg.
BTW - Kevin only has two to worry about, not four, but you did get a heck of a
deal on your DCOE's!
Jack
