One thing I will say though, I aint seen an impy work 100% reliably with a Halo yet, so yes it may be right up there speed wise, but what ya gonna feed it with?
My cranky old first-release impy works 100% reliably with a Halo. Pity the Halo itself can't manage to, though. Let's hope the motor they've sent me this time last longer than the last two - it does seem a bit sturdier and better quality all round, maybe it will last more than 3 tourneys this time.
95% of the problems people have with impys and halos are the ball detents. Stiffer detents normally sort it out. Sometimes impys with LPRs need an extra click or two of dwell, but only if the LPR pressure is very low.

The WAS eye is (obviously) intended to fit the existing holes on vision-compatible impulses, but the stock eye cover won't fit without some modification. The WAS board will be supplied with a replacement eye cover. So it'll be business as usual for all vision impys, with the added bonus of something visually different (what's the point of spending all this money if people can't see it! Hence the little knob on the front of the tapeworm - pointless, but it gives people something to see for their money.)
What this means for all of us pre-vision owners, however, is the potential of a slightly easier conversion job, because the new eye cover won't depend on the ball detent to hold it in place, so there is a little more flexibility of positioning. For instance, on the old bodies the ball detent is in a different position, which obstructs the centreline of the feed, so the only possible place for the eye is on the LHS of the body. Not a reasonable prospect with the SP vision eye, but it should be possible with the WAS eye.
