i'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it long term! I ordered an Adams E3 SS and it should be here in about 2 months. I'm curious if the short throw valves will have any benefits/drawbacks besides the fact that the valves are shorter. Knowing the quality and consistency of Adams, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are few drawbacks, if any! I am super excited to see how mine turns out.
