Gotta say, I’m a little surprised. I thought the thing that made the regulator such a fantastic knife was the flat grind. Am I missing something here?

As far the rest, I guess if there is going to be a choil on this kind of knife, this one looks more usable, but going from a differential to a through heat-teat sounds like a downgrade. I understand price-point may be nice, but I would guess most would pay the in the test team range for a knife more similar to the much lauded test team design. I guess I will wait to see what the final specs are and what the “testers” think of the changes before I totally make up my mind.
