Roger - No, I didn't call Nathan. I read a bunch of on-line reviews and the Odyssey had many more then XS. Not the deal maker though, since both brands reviews were generally very positive. Then I started making a few calls - which landed me a PC680MT, not just the 'T' as mentioned above for the price of a straight up PC680. That MT has the metal case that is advertised on line pretty expensively. Now, with that said, you STILL may get that chance to say those words Nothing else done on the car to speak of since the last post, though I did buy a battery lug crimper since I've found most of the cables will need some length 'adjustments':
