I doubt that Outback could change the Mate and improve it. I still find it difficult to deal with and switched to Magnum for that reason.
In my opinion the “improvements” made to the MX 60 in moving to the FM 60 were not an improvement. I have a customer with 2 identical racks and the MX60 did better every time we checked.
