Not only is the all new black color scheme Ten-Tec has reverted to, it is
also very ugly in my opinion.
After some 15 years of Corsair II, two each of Paragon's, Omni V's, Omni
VI Plus', Titan's and one Centurion, I have a difficult time
understanding why they have deleted a beautiful color scheme.
Sorry, but that is how I see the new color revision.
