Not offended at all (if you were addressing me?) I've driven a T56, nice piece, as far as ease of operation, I think that's a bit subjective but I am happy enough with an 833 design that it's a non issue with me. My BIGGEST concern is a "no cutting" installation, which is NO WAY possible with a T56. Also, my Passon 5 speed arrived yesterday so now they truly "exist".
