I'm absolutely baffled. I don't know who among Cat's BHL marketing or engineering team reads these forum... I'm just completely astounded. I won't jump to conclusions on what engineering reason (first assumption is that it was in fact an engineering decision) fueled this decision, but it does raise a helluva lot of questions.
