This design uses more material, is much more complicated to cast, is heavier, and cost more to produce. Why would all of the big three do this if their was no benefit? It's a head scratcher.
May I ask where you were discussing this with him? An open forum like Speed Talk? I hate to call him about little stuff like this. Thanks.
