Quoted from thedarkknight77:Honestly, because they are stupid. I get why Stern doesn't do it, retooling is a bitch, but JJP had a chance to reinvent the wheel and they went down the same foolish path. JJP should have eliminated the back box all together, reduce weight and shipping on an already beast of a machine.
I would have liked to see some creativity in that area as well, but JJP seemed to be targeting the "pining for the '90's" Williams collectors, and messing with the traditional formula too much probably would have scared a lot of them off.
