To be honest mate I totally agree with you. You should tune within the limits of what you've got and enjoy it and learn as you go. 16V trick bits are all good and well but you're taking the A-series beyond what it's designed for so you're entering a whole new realm. I reckon there's a lot of of fun to be had with what you've got so well done for sticking with the A-series!
