I would counter that with the fact that if they can't tell the difference between a big block and a small block, when looking at it, you could tell them anything and they'd believe it. But OK, I'll admit there might be a small segment that appreciates the FE without really even knowing what it is.

Afterthought -- I wonder why nobody ever asks me "Is that a REAL 428?"
