    Another thing to keep in mind..

    is that these awards are not from owners, but rather journalists who get a taste of the engines, but very few who deal with long term ownership issues. So the cold start clatter issue doesn't come into play for this engine, nor do cooling issues with some of the other engines that do well....

    But it is what it is, a recognition of the innovation of the technology that these particular engines promise...
