[nagdu] Leader's Kapten Plus Event

[Buddy Brannan]

Apparently, Leader is now giving out the Kaptens instead of the Breeze now. No doubt the cost savings alone is significant. I haven't seen a real world review or comparison with anything else. I plan to put together a podcast on it when I get mine.
