Nice move! Now, I see you got pre-LCI, can you elaborate why not jump right into an LCI so you don't have to do bunch of the mods? Namely, the CIC?

Is it, from your experience, one of those things that's nice to have, but you can easily do without (since you sold it in your part out thread I think)?
