Theres no way you can start to consider overall cost of ownership on a brand new product. Every company has their first few attempts, and usually has to fail first before they can suceede in the end. Remember the first set of Crown RR5000. I've Seen customers demand that the factory come and pick them up because they had absolutely no endurance, and the costs were through the roof. But now, after a few years of improvements, the new RR5700 Series is a sweet ride. I just hope Crown's able to keep up with actual customer demands, and not just what their management thinks the customers need.

And Edward, I loved that comment about only seeing the Broken Forklifts...Lol.
