Awesome write-up; thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts/impressions together.
A question for you on the ergos; I believe the seat height is taller now (starting in '13?) than it has been in the past. How did the seat height feel in comparison to your older 300?
BTW - I completely agree with your sentiment about the Katoom and it's also one of the reasons I sold my 300 and moved to GG.
Any chance you took some shots of all the fun? Be cool to see those

Congrats on the upcoming anniversary; hope you're able to sneak something new in the garage once you've ensured marital bliss continues
