I don't doubt that it is inferior. Which is probably why I said it
in the first place.
As you said, the IHS hasn't yet tested SAHR, so neither you nor they
can claim any comparison between WHIPS and SAHR. But, I will put
*money* on the fact that when they get around to testing it, SAHR
will outperform WHIPS.
