This sounds great for me, I like genius people.
Better (for safe only) both of them.
If only one system,
you should have water drains first of all
(this is only IMHO like Bob always says).
Cessna people know that.
I have run my Cessna 475 hrs w/o cascolators
w/o problems, in any conditions through the Finnish year climate.
I like the idea of simple, safe-enough, lightweight, cheap and fast Europa.
And also the idea it is buildable in a lifetime...with family and some other 
interests.
So - no cascolators. 
I trust my manual, literally (usually).
In spite of that, I have mod "water drains", of course.
I am sure Jos [couple of kilometers north from me]
will reply ;)) 
I am sure Europa people have large enough soul to read this.
