I would want my battens
Jesse, I have been on several boats with in mast furling, and one with the add-on style and the work wonderfully. The ability to control the amount of sail almost infinitely is fantastic and allows you to optomize headsail/mainsail balance so little rudder is needed to avoid heading up. I would, however, check out the in boom systems. In mast means no battens which in turn means no roach and more sail stress (or so I am told by a local loft; I have no personal empirical data).
