Hi Rockadanny

Thanks for chiming in. I'm in the midst of breaking in new SCs (Zu Missions) and trying them soon to combat the mid-range glare I'm getting hit with. I've gone through a bunch of different ICs and I'm happy with the current set I have. If the new SCs don't work I'll be back to the drawing board.
