Hi, I frankly I like the plates, the torque is monstrous, the original plate, the multiple functions ... in short it's good but only for a while ... its going to be 4 years that I have, and since 1 month it very promptly release the two, I have purchased about precisely because it functions as the mk2 did not. 4 years of TTX and the scratch for one month they do not work both. Both the plateau which runs more, and that is a y'en compltement dead. For the price I pay him the era, I'm a bit of the quality of construction of the plate, and especially of its life, I'll have my court pal and invest in short MK2 .. I do not know if new versions are worth but I prfre me now turn to the technics that have been on life ..
