Another valid point on the U20's.  At 7000 rpm the alternator is turning close
to 14000.  By limiting the top speed of the alternator they won't charge at a
low idle.

  Although I was able to get it to idle at 650 or so it was still fairly
rough
  and would sometimes die out on hard stops so I just brought up the idle
  speed.

  At 650 rpms my alt wouldn't charge enough at night which was another reason
  I like a higher idle.
