WOW. Talk about being ahead of the curve. The front storage area that opens sideways is cool. The removable rear compartment lids so you can get to batteries etc. is absolute genius. Hats off to all at BCB that worked on the design. Engineers and those who listen to their customers. Im sure a lot of customer feed back went into the design. Great, now I got to start saving my pennies again. I just got this one!
