@Horseman: couldn't have said it better! As for the dividends, we'll see it's good to know I won't be losing anything if it doesn't work out!

@Tom E: thanks for the encouragement… inspiration is the right word here. I was pretty much set on the Riker, after writing the cheeks off as too weak, but seeing Leopard's spectacular results just gave me that little extra push. Amazing what perseverance can do really.

And to satisfy your curiosity, no need to wait here's an old pic of the stache at four months, last summer. God I can't wait to get to that point again…
