Kirk,

Do you actually only have two?  I can't believe a galoot could get along 
with only two.  I just checked the shop and found four #40s, an ECE and 
a Peugeot Freres .  Each has a different radius on the iron (isn't that 
a good enough reason to have multiples?).  

Frank (Fort Worth Armadillo Works) - who doesn't count the #40 1/2 that 
stays in the house most of the time
