Yes and YES. I ran that way from about 2008 till about a month ago. Then I forgot to lower it one day and put on a Sensar IV (With Wingman built in) That too turned out to be an "UPGRADE"
But the wingman by itself is well worth the cost.. There were additional issues with my older Batwing that may have contributed to the difference between a III+Wingman and an IV. in theory there should not be that much difference.
But when I added the wingman I noticed a big difference in range.
