Just saw a short video on the new Lapierre Vision evaporator but cannot find many other details on them. I have heard they may have a different style of flue pan than traditional evaporators.

Only if you order the flux capacitor option
i ordered a lapierre junior last spring during their sale, late in may the dealer told me about the vision for the same price so i ordered one instead. they have different pan options i think, but i stayed with the 2 pans and 2 float boxes. there is supposed to a better insulation plan that puts more heat to the pans,air tight front door that is air cooled. comes with insulated top rail,bigger wood chamber and a improved leveling system. the air enters from the back so i'm guessing that means the air will be preheated and you've seen the glass door. i'm told the dealer will have mine in last week of aug. i can't say i'm excited about the look but.....they have put it through a lot of testing and it is an improvement
I picked up a 18x48 raised pan Vision yesterday! I cannot wait to get it installed and ready for the season! I am very impressed with the build quality and attention to detail LaPierre put into this new evaporator.
