You better get your running shoes on then Murph
I like Malis - but I think you have to look carefully at the lines, there are some very hard and worky ones out there and there are also ones who are seriously laid back! I have a friend with one and she has had a devil of a job to get it motivated. She panicked I think and almost tried to suppress the drive when it was a pup and it worked a little too well.
I'm afraid I do not know enough about the CsVs to know if you have the same line issues.
