Folks, I think everyone is missing the point: If complaints are all the general public hears (let alone the manufacturers), they won't want to get involved with S. If more people would change over (and many have expressed an interest in doing so) that would create a large market in which the manufacturers would add new and varied products.
All I am saying is that all the complaining and whinning only drives away possible new S modelors of any stripe.
I would rather be positive and draw people in, then a sour puss driving others away.
