What amazes me is the cost of a top loader. Especially if you want one complete in the box. Initially I refused to get one simply because of how it looked. Then I saw that it was actually inferior to the original. That made me glad I didn't cave and get one, just for the simple fact of owning one. The only advantage I see to the top loader is the 72 pin connector on the board, which would be less prone to breakage. Then again, I have enough 001s to never have to worry about broken parts.![]()
