Fully agree mate - I think we actually spoke about this at CD5 (we didn't know each other then).
If you are happy with and proud of it that's all that matters. To me that is half of the VMX thing... the resto. All the work and research and tears (speaking personally) of making this friggin thing actually work. Then there is the other half of it - (that I am yet to experience) the chance to thrash the crap out of it.
Still heading that way, got most of the bits - just a bit of mechanics and I am there.
