Weaker & heavier assembly? Last time I checked Big Daddy ran high 7’s with an Eagle rotating. Maybe he didn’t make enough power?

I rarely take what i read in the magasines as gospel and only put forward their opinion when i have an uninformed one of my own. The guy in the article wasn't trying to sell anything either...the shop he was from sells both 331s and 347s so why would he be biased?
Anyway, opinions are like ********....

Sometimes you get what you pay for.
