"I’m glad Ross and Mark welcome comments..... both negative and positive about the design of the XT. I have emailed Atlis twice to voice my displeasure of the newer front end design. Not sure when it changed, but the front end design pictured in this post is by far the better design. Atlis changed the design due to no longer needing the air vents. But they drastically changed the entire front end design, and not for the better. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll get an Atlis regardless. But clearly, if you read all the blog comments on the Atlis blog, clearly the older design wins big time. Those are my thoughts as well as many others. "
