Yawn ,,doesn't impress me like something designed on a slide rule and paper with wood working and metal craftsmen,,but maybe you're right ,I should embrace current things designed in CAD and made with computers that were programmed by kids who have never even held a hammer [except maybe in self defense or offence if handy].
