Thank you so much! This really helps! I am working on R&S right now using IE
and Narbik's WBs. I just wanted to plan ahead and also get this discussion
going for others in the future :) I agree with you that going with option
(b) is def worth it as it makes you a better Engineer.
Thank you and goodluck with your voice track!
