StructuralBIMGuy, many thanks for this. Will ask them about extended warranties and other issues you've highlighted. Do you have any advice on using…

We're now tossing up between Mantra26/28 from Metricon (found out that we can't fit Grandview on our block) and Havana28 from MJH. People seem to like the Havana layout from…
