I'm just as annoyed by removing the locking mech on the backbox. Those bolts are unnecessary and a pain in the ass. Not a fan of the metal backbox, either.

Quoted from Gexchange:Just wondering why you do not like the metal back box.. For me its been a life saver for few reasons.
1. Far less Hidden drop damage from freight companies because the bottom of the back box does not rip off
2. If a game does get damaged either in freight our out on location you can order a new side wing
3. Tilted dmd / Screen
4. More durrable shell that can easily be replaced down the road (future serviceability) if needed

Just seems really flimsy. And hey...it can be dented - and that ain't anything Bondo can fix.
The bolts suck, though. Can't imagine taking out the EZ lock mechanism saved them that much money.
Quoted from Gexchange:The new bolts are pretty damn good. The Allen ones sucked, glad they fixed that. They are stronger then they look.

You're a distributor (and a great one at that!). I'd expect you to say that. You're not going to say anything negative about Stern.
