The reality is probably that bean-counters infest all companies these days, and long-established, well-beloved products are vulnerable to their sales figures. I *do* think Ilford has a proclivity to replace or substantially modify many of their main products after a run of a decade or so, or at any rate it has done so several times to my annoyance. How long was the original Delta 400 on the market, anyone remember? I beta-tested some prior to 1992, but I don't recall exactly when. - --Mike
