is probably charitable. You do the math. If it is indeed 20 to 30% faster
than the old model, what would it's rating be?

John,

I suspect that you don't have much interest in the facts, but the 26X IS
the "old" model. The "new" model is the 26M. In other words, your stats
are either six years out of date or bass-ass-backwards.
