    Come on over to the 2x2 side George, the water
is so wonderful over here..... (beautiful music playing
in the background).

     I've been in that 41x101 camp for some time
(with a little MF "cheating" on the side) and am
making  the jump to 2x2's.   As much as I like the RBT
projector (one was brought to a CSC meeting once),
I think my 5 Ektagraphics (plus Arion dissolver) will
blow a single  RBT projector away (IMO). I've seen
Neil Steller 3-projector shows that would blow away
what an RBT projector show could do (of course,
Neil's superb stereo photography has something to
do with this!).

    Let me ask you this George, isn't it the results
that you are after?  Which system can provide  you with
the best stereo projection show result?

Actually, it's that way with 2x2's as well.  It's just that
the connection between the two halves are virtual rather
than physical. Neil gave a class on 2x2 stereo  mounting
last august at the CSC (meeting pics are on my web site at
http://www.photo-3d.com/Csc/cscaug99.html ).  You
still need to do all the identical same things with 2x2's
as you do with realist-compatible  mounts.

See, even Bob agrees!
