I carry mine everyday too. Everyone bags on their current quality. Rather than hunting down an older model with inflated prices because rumors caught hold get a readily available current production one.

Bill, What exactly do you see different between the current production ultra-tech and the older models 00-05?

It might just be the Blade Show 2010 or 2011 models but mine broke 3 times and is still broken. Sent it in twice, it just doesn't work.

My 2006 model works perfectly and has never failed to fire.

I heard people were having problems with the newer Halos too regarding the internals breaking and sending it in with minimal luck.

The word was current production Microtechs quality has gone down quite a bit and we all know about their non-existent customer service.
