I only mentioned the ratio difference because I don't know what his tolerance for a turning ratio increase would be. The fact that they even offered a manual rack implies the ease with which the wheel can be turned. Bothering to convert to electric seems excessive to me. Might as well leave the hydraulic that's already there than spend money for what's likely a very negligible difference in mileage and a loss of steering feel (though that will probably make little difference in an Echo vs. the hydraulic). The electric conversion also wouldn't reduce weight much, if at all.
