I'm with ya Tom..
if you get a chance before trying a Rev, take a look at the Monkey Kite bar. its very similar to the waroo 2007 bar with the dual line and stopper, but the depower is a cleat right above the chicken loop. it is difficult to trim while riding. i rode the 12m Monkey for an hour session in pretty strong winds and had a hard time depowering with the cleat unless i came to a full stop and used both hands. also had this overwhelming feeling that one slight bump to the line would kick it out of the cleat and snap the kite back to full power.
I am not a fan of the below the bar depower .. possible the Rev's system is more kook-proof and easier to trim. but still at full depower you would have at least 10 to 12 inches of depower line dangling near your spreader bar hook and CL.
i'll try to get a good look at it if i see one this week.
