Well, ..it looks like there is no point in debating the relative merits of different drip tray covers, wood grain handles, or case colours, as Reiss has now decided to stop "diddling with the details" and is going to press on with getting the current "standard" spec L1 on a few customers benches. A smart move i think, or he could be wasting weeks /months second guessing every suggestion for changes. Plenty of opportunity for "upgrade" or "Custom" parts , down the road. ..Now,..when do those tax refunds come in ??
