I don't want to come accross as arsey (assy for you americans), but it doesn't really matter how the piece is made, does it?

I understand the problems with sourcing the faceplate - that's fair enough. My point is really that since I had a mk1 I was expecting the mk2 faceplate to be of similar properties (i.e. AR).

To be fair - it doesn't bother me that much, so I can't say that I'm that fussed, but I can see the point of view of the mk1 owners who say they are bothered.

Anyway, there's not a lot of point in flogging this dead horse again. I thought it so I put it down - that's all.

Cheers,

Paul.
