After rereading my original post I see that it was misleading. I referenced Garys article to show that cutting in half to save time was a misconception.

Wow that looks great! I see them now and then,but I don't think they have that much meat on them here. I'll definitely give them a closer look next time I see them. Thanks for posting, David.
