I don't post very often (Jim pointed out there's an endless footer attached to my messages when I do!), but let me offer the opinion of an Atlantis and Bombadil owner (which means that I ain't buying one no matter what the decision is): I think the diagonal 2tt (the Campeur approach) is extremely attractive, AND cool, AND very likely highly, highly functional. For those who agree with the first two judgments (and there will obviously be disagreements), it is a grand slam home run.

Sorry. Just one opinion. I suspect one reason Rivendell might like to do the diagonal 2tt is marketing: it helps differentiate the Hunaqpillar from the Bombadil-- even if it doesn't improve on it. But if Rivendell's goal is to actually sell some frames, then I think a diagonal 2tt will be a tough sell. But then I thought the Bomadil would be a tough sell, too. Also, unless Rivendell does some testing on the strength differences (do they even have the capability?), I think that using a diagonal 2tt would be a rash decision. As for people like EricP, this new diagonal 2tt idea seems contrary to everything Rivendell said during the pre-order period: 1) Trust us 2) July delivery a good possibility 3) Only minor tweaks I imagine Rivendell would be willing to return deposits--but that won't cure the disappointment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
