[Rhodes22-list] Here is Doyle offer on UPS pricing

[Blue Heron]

Since the UPS is mounted inside the fore stay, you need to drop it to
effectively use the genny.  The exception to effectively using the genny is
when you wing-on-wing it with the genny.

It doesn't make much sense to use the UPS partially furled, so the furler is
mainly a convenience to deploying and stiking the sail.  I'm averse to going
out on the bow deck these days and the furler makes it completely possible
to manage the sail fully from within the cabin with the pop top up .  (You
wouldn't want to deploy the UPS anyway when conditions are not conducive to
sailing with the pop top up.)

I've found I can pretty much get to wind speed on a run using the UPS
wing-on-wing with the genny that is is poled out.  However, I don't
think the UPS pulls any better than the 175 genny on a reach in light air.

Since I do mainly coastal day sailing, which means my light air sailing
is mainly on a reach to sea breezes or coast influenced prevailing winds,
there's only a few days each season I get an opportunity to run in
light air.  All-in-all, I've found the UPS has the lowest ROI of any
thousand bucks I've spent on my boat.
