I've wound my own up to this point, David.  That said, I have ordered 
the pre-wound ones for my KAT100.  I've got some time constraints just 
now, and figure it will save me a bit of time.  Plus it will be nice to 
see his product for myself.

I must say that of all the aspects of kit building, I dislike winding 
toroids the most -- especially the ones with lots of closely spaced 
turns (makes counting tough).  But I've toughed my way through it on all 
Elecraft products to date.

But I do think you should do it once, just for the experience :)
