REFLECTOR: Cut-down keel -- Opinions?

[Doug Kanczuzewski]

I designed mine so the rear seats can fold down and make a flat storage area, similar to an SUV. Either or both seats fold down flat. With the cut down keel, but I did mine before the factory offered it as an option.

It would seem to me that, rather than spend $1000 for the modification, make the rear seats easily removable and take them out when you need the room for luggage.

I'm considering the cut-down keep and bench seat upgrade ( about $1,000) from the factory on my kit.  Does anybody have opinions on if this is worthwhile?
I don't expect to do a lot of flying with more than 2 people, much more common will be 2 people plus luggage, which makes me think that the cut-down keel would be a great option.

PS: For those I've been chatting about selling parts to, I'm waiting for info from the factory on exactly which parts I'll still need after getting the RG upgrade.   I don't want to accidentally try to sell a part that I will end up needing, and I want to include in what I sell everything I won't need.
