With receivers it's very much a matter of personal preference, but also
my understanding is that some of the Eton models suffer from QC
problems as well. And we all know how that story turns out with the
SRF=59's - very much a matter of alignment.
Also, in my case, a couple of the Eton models have very small buttons,
which I simply don't like - YMMV !
But I still wouldn't trade my 2010 for any Eton I've had a chance to
play with.
