They're putting that logo all over the place. Sad... The hex formation 
at the bottom of the pads was "fun" but I just thought the brain looked 
as cheap as most other new kits. I prefer more sober design or a simple 
rack unit.

Thanks for the info and thanks for stating that it's not a Simmons set. 
We cannot make that clear enough to all googlers out there...
