^TL:DR wut he said
I'd disagree. It was immediately obvious to me (maybe I'm just sensitive and need to HTFU as dov so kindly suggested), that the SMP was an improvement on the Romin, which was in turn a fairly immediate/obvious improvement on anything else I'd ridden on. Obviously you're not going to know if you'll still get on with it after 100+miles, but nothing (other than riding 100 miles) will ever tell you that
40 minutes is nothing, it's like reading one pages of a book and except to understood it.
