Absolutely, I agree. I've been an MG nut since I could walk, and an MG just
isn't an MG without those dual SUs. I recently bought a Midget with a Weber
downdraft, and one of the things on my "to do" list is to get one of the sets
of HS4s I've got laying around here rebuilt and swap the Weber out. It's the
epitome of "adequate."
