I started out with the disclaimer that the whole rant was subjective.

I will have to say that the original RT was okay by me, and the 1150 
was even better, but I have technical gripes with that one (overly 
discussed by others here) that keep me from considering it.  I can't 
consider a GS no matter what it looks like (I'm a dwarf...).  The 
current crop just insures the security of the RS and the R90 in the 
garage.
