There are some pictures of mine in this thread.
Thanks Rich, much appreciated.
I searched before posting my query but didn't see those posts you linked to.
The ODYSSEY 49-950 seems to be the way to go. I'm willing to accept the +6 lbs. in the trunk. It will get me a little closer to a 50/50 weight distribution.

Edit: FCP has it for $264, with free shipping. That's pretty good. I was considering waiting another year (6 years old), but may just go ahead and do it now.
