The A/C type is irrelevant - if we'd bought them [K13s] they'd be grounded too for the same reasons
Probably, and it could be even worse - quite a few are being grounded permanently with glue problems. Also they may not be suitable for a big porky P2 and a big porky P1 and they might have made the same sort of demands that meant they didn't get K21s.
