I agree, I would have no issue going with an SCI hull. some say Potters are built like tanks but is there any real evidence of that? Maybe, but that isn't always a good thing if more glass was used beyond what was structurally needed. I can also tell you Potter hulls aren't perfect. When you dig as deep as I have into then you will certainly find shortcomings in certain areas of construction.
