True. But I also thought it funny that really his only knock on the 3135 could be eliminated by regular service to replace used lube.

He also mentions his concern/desire for improved protection against perpendicular shock, yet previously admitted that the movement has a long history of reliable precision in very demanding environments. Seems kind of contradictory if you ask me. Is it dependable or prone to shock abuse problems? We all know the answer to that question.

In the end, I didn't see anything that screamed out why the 2892 is better...it seems this is just another example of personal preference. Not really any right or wrong answers...just different. Cheers.
