If Heath had sold S-line equipment in all respects, most of us couldn't have
afforded the stuff  (well, S-line equipment isn't all that fabulous either,
but that's not the point).  For what you got at the price you paid, warts
and all, SB equipment was generally was pretty darn good gear.  In that
respect, it's kind of pointless to beat it up.  

I certinaly had a good time with mine :-)
