If you bought one you wouldn't be asking that question, if you didn't buy one don't bother to open the thread, sorry for your time.

Plus in someone is on the fence, to buy or not

No it dosn't anymore. They stop including one sometime last year I think. I think is was marketed at one of their environment friendly moves, as nearly noone uses them. My last one did, but that was 5 years ago, At least we didn't see a price increase with the move to aluminum.
