Why would you want one when you can get 250 H.P. (with
10-15T less weight than a 13B) at 6500 RPM! Or do you
just like
having a prop that turns so slowly that you can see
the blades?

That would just be for doing Viking departures from the center of the
Lakeland runway during Sun&Fun.
Note that your favorite WWII fighter had a 2:1 or more reduction and 3 or 4
blades at a diameter 25% or more of the span. That's a big prop.
