Chris, et.al.,
  Thanks for the input.
  My only complaint is that now I have to think some more.... I hate it
when that happens. :-)
  A friend of mine recently had his Lyc IO-540-K overhauled and it was
close to 20K for the work.  You can go a long way with a rotary for
that.  And I think I remember seeing the 13B was TBO'd at about 3000
hrs?  Is that right?
  I'm beginning to like the idea of a 20B Turbo.....

Sheesh.... there I go thinking again .... I gotta stop this.....
