What was this thread about?
Rick wrote:The polished brown I had is out of stock so I took a chance on matte "Riverbottom". Usually buy polished because matte burnishes and doesn't retain "like new" condition for resale through as much use as polished, but if it runs like the one I lost, it won't be going down that road.

More practically, I'd guess black a better choice than most when considering ease of resale. But that's just that, a guess.

Something wrong there, as they have more top to bottom range than most, if not, anything I've ever had. My only issue there is the need to be conscious of what's in hand if it's the MVP and something surprises me out of dim LST light or dense fog. Might blow its doors off if not intentionally dialing down.
