Regarding the DMTs. I'm probably the first person in SRP history that will have owned a D8C and a D8E......twice. I bought both models early on and sold both after going Shapton. Yeah, crazy, I know, but I never said I wasn't!

I'm sure I'll have no problems with lapping the Shaptons using a D8C; the D8C is a time tested and proven performer for what we do. Stiction will be a greater challenge with the D8C than the GDLP without a doubt.
