Being a business Menard's will keep down manufacturing costs of their products where possible. Undoubtedly as each new manufacturing run has higher costs than the previous run, to keep the msrp constant and still maintain the same first run profit something has to be eliminated so it's logical the mode button would be targeted for elimination since their was never an explanation of it anyway in the initial product run and twith many buyers unaware of it and therefore not using it, elimate it and most purchasers will never notice it's gone.
