I would agrre it would be advantagous to have a "big HO name" produing some S,
but I seriously doubt that's going to happen.
Unfortunately, the most common response from folks in HO and O you hear after
seeing the advantages of S is "I've already got too much invested in..."
Now, we've had some recent converts from O and that's absolutely wounderful,
but it seems they seen the light at the worst possible time.
I'm hopeful our "big three" can get production up and running soon and we can
possibly peel a few more folks away from the other scales.
