So 66.5xPlatinum in NZ minus TUF & WAIA. Shit that's impressive. That's about the same as what they've got in Canada...& i suspect some of those certs are pretty old & therefore those estimates conservative : JT only 10k (less than 1xP) above it's cert level? when did it get 14xP? Thanks for the figures though ChargedVT
