Re Donovantylers' comment 'I would like to see a demo comparing the visual results and also sound comparison(s).
Apples-to-apples pepsi taste challenge.' Ideally, from a customer (certainly my) perspective, it would have been preferable to introduce Truetone on some bottom of the range all solid acoustics first, and gauge the response. But Eastman have invested up front in the new process, and I suppose supporting two kinds of finishing (Nitro and Truetone) was a non-starter in terms of costs and logistics. Also, Eastman is a business not a democracy, and I guess the only effective way a candidate customer can express dissatisfaction is to vote with their feet. And anyway, I bet you some market research was conducted. Eastman have gone down in my estimation, but they still have a lot going for them. Would I consider buying a non-Nitro finished Eastman? I don't know.
