Vortex generators

Am considering vortex generators for my 701 in lieu of slats. Am about to close the wings. Anybody know anything about the pros & cons and technical requirements of this?

Thanks Ken - what the designer says is good enough for me - after all - I'm no aeronautical engineer!

The designer of the airplane has addressed this topic directly:

Ian,
Go to StolSpeed Aerodynamics, they have done a lot of test with the V/G's. I have just started scratch building a 701 and I'm leaning toward the V/G's myself.
