Rick,
Thanks for your honest appraisal. I've often wondered if it would be any  
different than poling out the 175.

Since  the UPS is mounted inside the fore stay, you need to drop it to
effectively  use the genny.  The exception to effectively using the genny is
when  you wing-on-wing it with the genny.

It doesn't make much sense to use  the UPS partially furled, so the furler is
mainly a convenience to  deploying and stiking the sail.  I'm averse to going
out on the bow  deck these days and the furler makes it completely possible
to manage the  sail fully from within the cabin with the pop top up .  (You
wouldn't  want to deploy the UPS anyway when conditions are not conducive to
sailing  with the pop top up.)

I've found I can pretty much get to wind speed on  a run using the UPS
wing-on-wing with the genny that is is poled out.   However, I don't
think the UPS pulls any better than the 175 genny on a  reach in light air.

Since I do mainly coastal day sailing, which means  my light air sailing
is mainly on a reach to sea breezes or coast  influenced prevailing winds,
there's only a few days each season I get an  opportunity to run in
light air.  All-in-all, I've found the UPS has  the lowest ROI of any
thousand bucks I've spent on my  boat.
