I must save for one of those. I've been hassling myself trying to make a 44/30 double for the Fargo without widening the Q any more than it currently is (160) with the XD2 and the 113 mm Tange. I can't run the 44 and 30 in the inner positions because they then butt up against the stay before they get half tight. On the outer positions, of course, I can only go down to a 34.
The VBC would fit the frame with the existing 113 with room to spare (only 121 mm across the stays at the 8" point) and I expect it will also give me a lower Q.
