      Dunno. Did you forget your umbrella?

      Actually the F12 published figures corroborate with our test figures 
reasonably well so you can use both to make some educated decisions. Sounds 
like the difference in approximately 1.5 dB to 3 dB improvement over the TH6 
would be worth it. Don't forget the TH6 is about at the end of its service 
life so would probably need to be replaced in the foreseeable future anyway.
