This is a great point, Chuck. Are there any positives (other than cosmetic) to the dollshead? I had a nice discussion with Ken yesterday and did my best to present the anti-dollshead, pro "DS-style rib extension" argument (also doing away with the cocking indicators per the DS/I grades). It's my impression these issues are still on the table.
