I had nothing to do with it! But I will add that it may be a matter of priorities. My Expedition has 183,000 miles on it, and my bass boat is 18 years old. My arranger and p.a. system are the best available to suit my needs though! For many years arranger technology has kept moving rapidly forward, making it seem logical to keep up with the improvements every couple of years. Not so much now; they are all very good and it seems new improvements are incremental rather than sweeping.
BTW, I'm also a Sheriff's Deputy, but usually only one day a week.
