Should your desire, or your circumstances, ever move you to sell your Axis, do you think you'll get that extra C-note back out of the deal? I doubt it. I doubt I'll get my $3, either, but who cares?
no need to call sour apples on someone who has the coin to spend on a proven mechanism, bud. it's my decision to timney and clearly not yours. i won't tell you that your rube goldberg spring hack is just that, so no need to piss on my parade and tell me your way is better than mine or that i'll lose money when/if i sell the axis. yeesh. not nice, dude. really crude.
