It doesn't really bother me, Joe. I take that description as rather a type of shorthand to describe something of lesser cost and complexity, but which in no way implies lower quality. Standards and expectations keep evolving, and looking back those "entry level" conventional units of today were often an uncomfortable stretch for most consumers of average means in the classic postwar years. And I think we'd all agree those trains were certainly not considered entry level then! You never know, though--maybe at some point I'll decide I've had enough of that description as well, and it will begin to irritate me. Oh, the joys of being human...
