Because the rest of my life contains compromises... I think Boar's Head has an ad campaign out now that says "Compromise Elsewhere"... same thing here.
I don't consider staying true to the original design to be a compromise though... it's probably even harder than doing some customizing here and there.
As said, everybody's itch is different, and is to be individually respected and celebrated. That's what makes this whole scene so cool, especially during these perverse times of forced compliance and conformity. I really hope this resource survives long term, especially for those that aren't even here yet.
As for me, I've got 4 400's, each with a different role to play, and itch to be scratched. I'm still lovin' on these things exclusively, 35 years after buying my first one. I hope my health holds out to get these guys completed and worthy enough to share with everyone. That's the plan anyway.
