Got my first issue of the MCN. Holy guacamole! there are color pics
now.
When did they last test full face lids and were noise levels measured?
Inside temperatures? (white lids only obviously)
Airflows?

Only if you have a Seca II to go with it.
I wish yamaha resuscitated that concept with dual front disk
