If you don’t get the same answer more than once from the same company then don’t do it. They don’t know what they are talking about and you will get stuck with something you didn’t want

Hey 8 years sounds like an awfully good payback! Not to mention the part where you have the power you need when you need it. In my opinion, that;s worth its weight in gold. I too am jonesing for a goat...
