The legth just looks sleek to me. It may actually be a performance detriment, but if I want an entirely rational design I can just build one of yours ;)

I'm gonna try fitting a cone to see what it'll look like, but I don't often do things the easy way in the shop. Maybe it's `cause I get paid to do that all week, so I want something different for recreation.?
