Stan: I'm not feeling the need for cuffs.  Proper training, AOA, stay with the HPAT guidelines on speeds and that will be worth 100x cuffs.  Don't sweat the options.

I am still building my Legacy but the wings are finished and in primer.  Now Lancair has introduced a new product to add cuff airfoils to the outboard section of the wings. http://www.lancair.com/index.php/latest-news/335-legacy-cuffs
 
This "upgrade" addresses several of the Legacy's short comings voiced on LML: better roll control, reduced stall speed and enhanced stall warning buffet, all without effecting the top speed. New Legacy kits will include the Cuffs at no extra charge but as an upgrade the cuffs cost $1495.
 
Has anyone flown a cuffed wing aircraft? How may Legacy drivers would spring for the Cuff Upgrade to improve their Legacy's slow speed performance? If new Legacy kits come with the cuffs shouldn't I buy the upgrade just to prevent my Legacy from being a "classic" before it's ever built?
