I mirror the exact same feelings.  I'm within a year of being finished with
my ES,  and I was committed to buying a brand new IO550 too.  At least we do
have a few months to see what happens.  I suppose I'm about 6 months from
needing to order the engine, so maybe that little turbine that was at OSH
will be out by then :-)
I was told that the FADEC engine will be able to use auto gas.  Is that
true?
