Quick update on the hybrid. Went to Aldi today and picked up one of their halogen TO's. Gave it a try on 450 gm of MM ( all I had left). Roast times were basically identical to the element type of TO with 1st C at 16 mins and 2nd about 20 mins. The halogen cycled a lot and started about 7 mins in which is a bit of a worry but didn't do anything with the times ? The vision with the halogen is superb and beats shining a torch through the lid of the element type. Because the roaster is so shallow vision has always been good but now its awesome. Short of doing some AM type mods (removal of shield and bending the fan blades) to the halogen oven, I'm not sure what else needs to be done to the hybrid. AM has seen it in full swing and I think is suitably impressed with build quality, agitation and most of all, the quietness.
