I haven't tried the untuned MS3 before messing around with the merge. But I don't think it's all that different from this thing. It's not like there's no influence from the tuned adapters at all, it's just less than I expected. That might be for the better, though. The result is usable as is.

Will use this as part of upcoming merges when there is enough fuel.
