New Meade Superwedge

I've noticd recently, Meade is advertising an improved Superwedge for the new RCX400. I'm curious, does anyone know what they have actually done to redesign it? The pictures I've seen of it with the scope, do not appear visually different than the old one. I had to rebuild mine from the ground up right out of the box when I got it because the workmanship on it was so poor. Also, I saw recently Meade advertised a larger wedge for the 14". Is it any better? I'm happy with mine now that I've replaced/remachined 80% of it, but must confess, if I'd known it was going to be this bad, I would have got in line for the Milburn piece.

Sincerely
Mike

Don't know about the RCX400 Superwedge... but the 14" Superwedge has the same problems as the 12" version. The 14" version has another plate added to it other than that it has the same specs. I just ordered a Mitty and will receive it on Friday.
