2) I really don't see how you'd save money in the US. Five levels in the US, including probably 5 days in the hospital... Well I imagine if you convinced your insurance company. But since only one level of ADR is approved by the US, I just never considered I'd get approval for 2 levels myself.
5) There is no doubt that Prof B is very competent. But I'd choose Clavel over his use of the LP-ESP over the ProDisc. That's just me personally. I realize Prof B might also be able to use the LP-ESP but it's not the one he seems to use most often.
