Awesome feedback already this morning. In addition to a couple
folks who emailed me directly here are the Pantera -drivers- who
have recommended the Innovate system from real experience:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
- Kirby Schrader<br clear="none">
- Mike Trusty<br clear="none">
- SOBill Taylor<br clear="none">
- John Christian<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
That is a good enough sample quantity and testimony for me.<br clear="none">
Thank you everyone. :)<br clear="none">
