Not as a point or argument, merely as one who has used the tank dies, so 
please do not take this as a flame at all.  I whole heartedly enodorse the 
tank dies (like that really matters:-)  Like I said, I now use the tank 
dimple dies even on all substructure, ie, ribs spars, stiffiners.  I will 
continue to change dies, as the results are much better...at least I feel 
they are.  For a detail analysis go to Sam's page.  He documented fully, the 
differences in the two sets of dies.
