I most assuredly will refer to that model as a bastard solely in the context it is not a #16, nor a #1.

If you read my posts with even a minor effort at intelligent thought, you would realize I was offering my opinion only. Not everyone is going to agree with it. Sorry if it doesn't jibe with yours. I am somewhat amiss as to your confusion. I thought I was pretty clear and offered photographic evidence to that effect.

I have offered the comparison for your perusal in an attempt to clear the air as to my thoughts on the subject. Again, you are free to disagree, but I think it is evident, the more aesthetically pleasing item.
