I agree!! Successful test drive this evening, drove like a dream. Until I got home (at least I got home) and in the garage - and my brake pedal went rock hard and my brakes froze.... From one project to another! But yes, even though I didn't have my speedo hooked up for the test drive - this set-up was a dream to drive. And I was actually surprised how 1st gear was very usable - I really thought I'd prefer starting off in 2nd because of the 1st/rear gearing combo - but it really didn't bother me at all. Row thru them all each time.
