I would like to say I'm surprised - but Uncle Sam never exports the same technology that he has himself - it is only the Brits and French (and probably the Russians) who give the customer better kit than they have themselves! A timely reminder to all those on these boards who advocate buying US that even though Tony is George's best mate, the old adage of looking after oneself is more improtant than keeping your mates happy!
