I suppose that the final specs will be based upon the "typical"
performance of the above 10 units?  Maybe max and min specs
based upon the "worst" performance among the 10 units,  with
typicals somewhere near the "best" numbers from the group?
Is that how it is done??   Or,  I guess amateur gear really
does not carry "guaranteed" max/min specs,  just typicals.
Notice that on the present TT rigs spec pages there is a
note saying that the specs may/can change without notice.

How to know what exactly one is buying with a top line rig
purchase?
