i doubt if there is any one reason for why it's taken so long. maybe it's technology. maybe it's changes in attitudes. hell, maybe it hasn't been 20 years - i mean, if Ito got a set to test 3 years ago, then there had to be a period of time where this went from an idea to a part-to-be-tested. either way, it's a long-awaited, welcome option for many of us, and hopefully a stepping stone to even better innovations for this engine that we love so much.
