Cool!  I ordered up the big one :-)  If it is good, I will get 4, 8, 12, 16
inch sizes too so I can easily play with top load sizes in increments of 4
inches.  Be great of finding the right size to give a single streamer and
such.  10 inches of radius is 1/4 meter which suggest a breakout voltage of
750kV!  None of my coils should breakout with that big 20 incher on top! 

Cheers,
