Thanks for that!

Thanks for all the car talk, interesting comparison. I don't completely disagree but if you look at the prices for a 59 Vette, or 59 Les Paul, they might suggest your argument isn't firing on all pistons. Regarding the MT4X, I've purchased a unit that has been in the original box for 25 years...
