LOL! I just sent my ex- to the hobby shop to buy the 31286! Now when I see her, I can tell her "NO! You totally bought the wrong ones. I know I told you 31286, but you should have known I meant 4617...geeze, no wonder we broke up!"
I was actually kind of wondering about that whole surface area thing...
Thanks for the update Chris, and thanks for the timing too! I'm going to have fun with this! (btw...she knows I'm kidding...we tease each other like that all the time. Gotta love exes that get into the same hobbies that you do.)
