Hi Bill,
The Z310 and 810 (if you can get one) are great for IC work. It cant
compete with quickcast for accuracy and min wall section, but has other
redeeming qualities, relative to what type of casting you are making.
There was a paper (mine) on the topic in the TCT conference procedings
from this year if you're interested in more info.
