I totally agree with all that you said!! I've had mine on for about a year now, and I find it to be one of the best investments for the tail wheel driver. I got mine on my -3, which is almost impossible to see over the nose with a stock tailwheel,

but now it is much better!

I will be ordering one for my -4 in about 3 months.
