I could smell the "potting" - hope that's the right term - resin getting hot from the airflow in the cabin. Opening up the blower housing revealed a regulator that had definitely been "hot".

I agree that the product design was mostly smoke and mirrors b/c power is power. In a conversation w/ a 'technical' person, I never could get an answer to how it could dissipate less power than a 'standard' regulator.
