I feel that two products compared belong in a different class and are aimed at different users with different priorities. A comparison of the 87 and 177 might have been more appropriate.

I feel that two products compared belong in a different class and are aimed at different users with different priorities.

A comparison of the 87 and 177 might have been more appropriate.

I takes about a year to show BAT on display. I admit tho, I don't use it daily... What really disapointed me was the (7 seg) LCD. Not all segments have the same contrast and some are so fade that I have to look at 90 degrees angle. Awfull viewing angle. I wonder if I got a faulty one?
