It doesn't feel any smoother (or less smooth) than an M3. Am I missing something? For the price, they could have used solid titanium top and bottom, but that might turn some collectors away. --------------------------------------- Gang Huang Bell Laboratories 200 Laurel Ave. 3B-216 Middletown, NJ 07748 U.
