Not trying to paint a rosy picture, Washburn. You'll have to ask an Outlaw designer for the logic behind each function, but since the RR 2150s keep rolling off the assembly line that way I have no choice but to interpret them as elements in the design. By contrast, for example, a small number of the first units that were shipped after Outlaw changed factories had a bit of voltage leakage that caused the display to flicker ever so slightly in "standby" mode. Outlaw found out about it and immediately offered to correct it because that was not part of the design. As a result, the display is not an issue that anyone who's purchased an A- or B-stock in the last year has encountered. For me, the equation is simple: Whatever's part of the design stays in, while what's not gets corrected.
