A bugeye is giving away even more weight than a box Spridget to a 1500 so
make make that 400lbs lighter. So even with rough math the brakes on a 1500
have
to do something like 10-12% more work than a box Spridget and most likely 25%
more work than on a Bugeye. If you apply those percentages to stopping
distances you get a feel for my argument.
