How is it revolutionary? It’s great there’s more packout options, but a Bluetooth, 18v radio, with an aux port, and USB charging output has basically been a stable in any professional brand’s 18v platform for years. Newer Bluetooth, new number of speakers, neat. Not revolutionary. In packout form, that’s cool, but it’s not even the first to have modular storage system form factor. I don’t understand why a company with such great reputation for quality products, continually self-aggrandizes and misrepresents themselves.
