I will repeat, since I didn't send my earlier reply to this to the list:

I agree absolutely with John concerning the neutral: if it isn't tied directly to 
ground, I ain't doing it.

Secondly, I have never, ever had any transformer I have ever used as a 
bucking transformer fail.

And I always use the "non-autotransformer" connection.
