[1000mp] Ft1000 MP Value?

[Michael W Elliott]

Well for me personally got use to the original MP.

I just never liked the Contour on the side.

I like knobs  I gess and plus the fact of how you
setup your filters.

Yea I am an old fart and once I get use to something I
hang with it ------  

Like friends  I keep the ones I have and the ones I
dump really have had to piss me off good.

Just my old butt reasoning I gess


ONe last thing I have never felt that comfortable with
the Mark V
