This is totally unrelated to your topic, but this seems like as good
an opportunity as any.

I see you have an original R8 and an R8B. Is there much difference,
performance-wise? I know about the ergonomic changes, I'm just
curious if one has better sensitivity/selectivity, etc.

I ask because I have an original R8 also.

I've not noticed any difference in sensitivity or selectivity. But yes,
the R8B is 'better' ergonomically. However, I tend to use the R8 more
than the R8B. Why? Darned if I know!
