Not to speak for Tony,
but it is his "Design" skills that keep him away from the Encore products. I
saw a few Surface Ones at NAMM last year and they looked fine and running,
but are they released yet? No. This thing is so filled with bugs from the
Tactex (my impression only) that it has taken far longer than expected to
work the kinks out. The new Moog Voyager has ditched the tactex and used and
old method of Bob's due to all the problems they had (hence the year delay
in release similiar to the surface one). I'm sure Tony is more than on top
of things and you should maybe have a little bit of faith in such a talented
designer and his obviously established products. (especially after how long
the OMS-410 kits took my friend). Tony, see you at NAMM?
