There is another thread that has been hanging around for a very long time (just over 4 years, to be exact) called "Bowser C-636 update?". But I think a new thread is well deserved for the updated model, allowing a new start of the discussion for this new version. Bowser has the corrected version in stock now, according to their web site. I hope to see some posts here soon about this model. At least, the optical main problem seems to have been nicely solved now.
