The play in the holes is due to the construction which is different  
from the other two models you mentioned (MB is nailed, GM has a  
plastic injection moulded comb). No one is claiming to know what's  
best for the customers. As I indicated in my posting, immediately  
after writing it I phoned Trossingen and had a lengthy conversation  
with the person responsible for quality control, who will be  
addressing the issue right away. If that's not listening to your  
customers, what is?

That's it on this topic from me, I'm off to London for a few days and  
won't have e-mail
