Isn't this why 6 point is generally better? Like I said, I'm not sure one way or another...

Glen, you're lucky to have that "secret weapon" available...all that knowledge and experience is priceless.
I am lucky, but it is not quite priceless, I always slip him some green folding money. He has balked before at hoe much I give him. I tell him, I never want him to think, dang, the cheapskate Glen wants my help again. I want im to know he will have some cash to take his wife to a nice dinner on me.

In the end, yea he is pretty priceless. I was stumped on one stupid electrical problem. He brought the factory manual, and figured it out in 15 minutes. I was happy to give him 50 bucks and he tried to refuse. I had spent most a day chasing my tail with the Bently manual and my tester.
