Agree the EU model is much better. The only thing I've seen is that it tends to forecast the winds a bit higher than they end up. It is great for figuring out if a flight a few days out can be done VFR. Or what might be a good day to shoot practice approaches IFR.
thanks for sharing, I've been using it for a while but did not know of some very useful features like the distance tool that shows weather along the route.
