I agree with the whole function over fashion idea, but to be honest I couldn't tell you the load that a KMC could handle. I just know that they are tried and tested, which these may not be, but then again, they could be fine for the job, so let's just wait and see. If it doesn't stand up to it, it doesn't stand up to it, and he can run a KMC. He's made his mind up to run the chain, so there's no point being a bit arsey about things
