P3D RBT mounts versus everything else

I guess you save yourself a dollar worth of frustration on every slide, so
you make a profit of 40 cents by using RBT :-)! I finish a roll of Realist
in about 2-3 hours. If you still need more precision than in the 0.1 mm
range of the RBT system, I know a guy who further 'over-perfects' by using
adhesive tape for precision mounting with RBT mounts (and again spends a
long time on each slide).
