    What hardship ;)

    Sure you will have seen the Gen2 for sale across on MWR, wish someone would snap it up as my willpower is fading :(

    I thought there were reliability issues with the Gen 2. No personal experience, but that's what I've read.

    Excellent, I confess I am always slightly wary when I recommend a piece and it certainly looks as if you captured the last one :thumbsup:

    Coincidence, wearing mine this morning.
