One thing that seems consistently clear is that most people have a slightly different vision of the ideal or perfect Regulator (which seems perfectly unavoidable) but that the common thread running through all is that people seem genuinely excited, to say the least, about this new knife, and grateful to Dan for both versions. I imagine that when the blades start flowing that those who prefer the TT version will trade with those who want the new version (which reminds me, the yet unreleased specs may further reduce scepticism about the new version).
My guess is that i would be happy with either one. In fact i'm not at all convinced i'd even notice the difference between them in use, depending on the cost <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Mostly i just don't want to contribute to a delay in the release of the new Reg by giving Dan the impression that i don't want or would not buy the new knife. Maybe i overestimate the power of one voice? The only thing i know for sure about the new Regulator is that i want one! (for what it's worth!)
