Well, I did ask him the best way I thought possible. I did have his undivided attention, asked what the difference was between an A2 and something like 765. He gave me a very good lesson on the differences and talked a bit about A1's, which the B&A had some. Didn't know that either. We talked a bit further but nothing went anywhere as far as the A2's, which I sort of thought may happen. Regardless at least he knew what we were talking about.
I did also say that there has been a ton of chatter about these(the A2's) which I am also sure he is well aware of. Hopefully before the next couple of years we'll get one down the like, or wherever these beauties would come from.
