It´s a marketing thing. If they put screws in the MB classic it 
mecomes more attractive compared to the MBDL and more customers will 
decide to buy the cheap MBC.
I can hardly believe that the sealed comb and a few screws cost $15 
more than the nails and conventional comb, so hohner earns more 
selling MBDL than selling MBC.
Thats all.
