As of 1 week ago I would agree, but I know someone who has claimed to 
build a very small coil that is getting really good spark lengths (the 
JF formula is working for him). I'm awaiting his data. It should be 
pretty interesting to compare his coil to the typical small coil. Maybe 
were missing something with small coils that will show up. I certainly 
am troubled about small coils performance and am hoping something 
obvious shows.

Take care,
Bart
