I bought a tape frame from  Markus awhile ago. The tapes never return properly. I don't know if it is extra length of the frame , the springs (they are more lax) or the roller return assemblies. Any one have any experience with these things?

Sounds like you just entered it, pretty decisively, for the "have been known to 'mess' if it improves the overall experience" camp :)

In any case, I don't know what "messing" (if any) has been done on the M4000D, but I bet it's a better experience that waiting 6 minutes for the Pindertron CD to load in my Akai!
