Joe,

I do not know how you can come to such a conclusion.

May be, they want to upgrade their machines and design capabilities. This
would mean that quality would in fact go up.

If they want to invest, on the other hand, in machines for making
wunderplastick, then god help  us. Somehow, I do not think that this is
their intention.

Anyway, there are many innovations that could be added to the M6, but such
work would require money, talent, and time.

Best regards,

Chris
