Gotta play the odds Kell. Would you rather be over land at 7k, when your engine quits or gives "warning signs" that its going to. Or out of gliding range from land, when your engine starts to go. Ok, the likelyhood of an engine failure while cruising is low, but still, would you want to risk it?

If I played those kinda odds, I'd never leave the house. Odds are better of getting sideswiped on I-20 than your engine magically quitting.
