North mast extensions Power XTR 1and 2.

[clarkr2]

If anybody reading this has had the opportunity to use both versions 1 and 2 of the XTR, have you found that the extra 3 cms of lever/crank length on version 2 gives, in practice, much more power when down-hauling?

Any other comments on the 2 versus the 1 would also be appreciated.

I already have version 1 and am curious about version 2.
