Thanks, but I'm really interested in how the M-179's compare in size to the 
PVR-250's.  In his post "How to void your warranty on the Pundit", Robert 
Kulagowski detailed how he fit 2 PVR-250's in his Pundit with a little extra 
sheet metal cutting, but I was wondering if the M-179's might fit better or 
worse.
