It doesn't seem to have occurred to most. And I also doubt many have had
the opportunity to do this comparison. I have.

I can concur, after having the pressure hose split on my old 3500 auto
SD1. I was doing a fair lick along the M27 one night, doing well over
the limit. Went to turn off at Fareham and no response, I missed the
turn off. Needed muscles like Popeye to manouevre, especially at slow
speeds.
