I installed them on my KitFox SS7.
Pros: should improve speed and I like the look of the smooth leading edge
Cons: more work to install vs not installing. Also, be careful of getting too much heat on them when covering. I had a spot that appeared to pull away and form a pocket which was noticeable and I had to adddress.

Hi Brian
I bought just about every upgrade available when I ordered my Kit. Although I like the smooth leading edge and almost dropped the coin for it, I keep seeing the photos of Ross' adventures across the "entire" continent down under. He doesn't have the LLE. If he's having that kind of fun without getting up off his wallet then I will too. I can buy a considerable amount of fuel for the 912iS for that money.

Hey Eddie - small correction - I DO have the LLE on mine.
