I for one, was glad the LEs were being made after a batch of Pros. I didn't want the same quality issues with my KISSLE as I had with my METLE. I'd even be okay with Stern producing a batch of KISS premiums before the LEs. Just like anything being produced for the first time, there almost always will be bugs that need worked out. But when someone spends the kind of money Stern is asking for an LE with very little difference between it and a premium, the least they could do is eliminate all of the major bugs and quality control issues before they put the LEs into production...period!
