So I get an email on my 6th or 7th week wait. And Intrepid says "good news everybody, you are getting the fancy new model!" (please add another 2-4 week wait

Here are the specs, not yet on the web

* Notches to zero the front standard
* A ruled guide for accurate front standard movements
* Reinforced front standard controls (a weak point of the previous
model)
* Stronger ground glass clips
* A much more refined base design
* A new stronger locking system to secure the rear standard


These are things I've seen Youtube Vids complain about so they are listening!
