    I'm considering to buy one for my MM and asked them for a total price since i'm overseas, but they are not very responsive, guess most people are off these days preparing for the fireworks.

    I have a large and MM. I am currently using the plate setter, but have debated getting the woo for my MM. I
    think I would get better air flow with the Woo.

    I have the XL and MM. I use the place setter because it makes it easier to control low temp cooks. I think the woo would  guarantee better air flow. Sometimes that might not be what you want. I like my set up for my style.

    What differences did you notice between using the Woo and plate setter with your MM?  I almost pulled the trigger on one this week but figured I would wait for others to comment.

    I have to agree with Dutch's comment.  I've had my MM a couple months now and do enjoy it.  But I do think air flow could be an issue.  Its ps seems to cover too much space, which seems like a an obvious restriction.  High temps seem to be a challenge. I've never used a Woo, but do have the Large Adjustabe Rig, Grid Extender and oval ps, and this has definitely improved the performance of my LBGE, which I attribute to improved air flow.

    MM WOO set-up is definitely worth the coin. Get w/ Tom at CGS & they'll take care of you.
