I'm considering getting a new main sometime in the near future and
need some input on a possible problem. Canopies are getting larger
and larger. This can be very good, especially for those of us who
could stand to lose a few ( ok, a lot of ) pounds. However, what
about opening problems. Theoretically a larger canopy increases
the chances of a slow opening and snivels. I was wondering if those
of you who have gone to larger canopies have noticed problems. I'd 
like to find an optimum point between soft landings and clean 
openings.


Thanks,
