psneeld,
Fair enough. I advocate the same reasons that car manufacturers went to 12v from 6v systems, why some boat manufacturers build 24v systems in smaller boats. More efficiency, reliability, and power, less heat and voltage drops. I suggest that the 12v 'norm' will eventually go the same route 6v systems did, and for the same reasons.

What I trying to do is explore the possibilities. And advocating the 24v position. That doesn't mean I'll do it. I want to find out the specific pros and cons to each system. It sounds as if you like 24v, just don't want to make any redundant expenditures. Perhaps a 12v/24v system would alleviate those legitimate redundant expenditure issues, perhaps it's just too much bother to undertake. That might be where I come out on this too.

Appreciate the opinion and input, have a good day.
