jk16 all your points are valid and all worth examination. So lets look and examine .....
By far, most 700s made and sold do fine. ....
Considering the VAST numbers of 700s made and sold -- it's a very small % that have had failures.
I think POS is far from accurate and far from appropriate.
I'll repeat, name JUST ONE company who has A product with 100% reliability and ZERO failures.
They don't exist.
