I remember very well how I measured a new production rig of 
another brand and it had terrible sequencing. Despite seeing 
it with my own eyes an engineer at the company kept telling 
me it was fine and he checked it. After I wasted time 
checking and rechecking my setup he finally actually looked 
at the rig and found it did have a sequencing issue.

So the question that pops into my head after that experience 
is...

Has anyone put the 7800 on a scope and looked at the timing?
