My two cents worth concurs with all of the above. Aside from the obvious advantages of increased strength, I was really impressed with the quality of customer service and dedication of both Mike and Neil. They have a great product and I see nothing but good things on the horizon for this company. I have not used the hold downs yet, but I have used the A095s and they work better than advertised. The drilling sequence is simple and the assembly process is pretty straight forward. One area where this system really shined for us was the connections of an interupted ridge beam to a king post truss. The connectors were easy to use. They provided increased strength at this volatile joint and I was able to preserve the appearance of traditional joinery.
