I won't be picky about the efb if all I need to show up with is the efb, flashlight, and headset. I figure it saves 60 pounds to stash on a DH or non-rev adventure and I can condense to an overnight bag and just a briefcase with all I need for a trip. The rest of it, whatever, let the bean counters have their statistical (aka: financial) wins. Keep it a reliable and Internet updatable product and 60 pounds/1 whole bag less to shove around and I'll call it a win.
It's great to see such minor things as big squabbles. That means the rest is going well. Big picture thinking wins the games.
