[TenTec] What's Going to be Next

[Barry N1EU]

Are there really that many features in the K3 and Omni7 that the Orion lacks?

Personally, I think DDC/.DUC is the future of rig design and all new
rigs ten years from now will be DDC/DUC.  The real innovation will
come in the rig form factor and interface.
