I 100% agree that Access 123 was a near disaster when it was released in 1997 on the RR5000. However, because of that Crown is very, very careful about product engineering and testing before it realeases a new product. The TSP6000 is not a new truck anymore. It has now been on the market for 2 years with absolutely no problems. If you want to take it a bit further, that truck was tested in the field for 2.5 years before it was released for sale. So I would say the "why be a pioneer" statement holds no weight. As far as the demo's go. I would suggest to the original poster that they contact their local Crown branch to ask for a demo. EVERY Crown store and most all dealers have access to a new TSP6000 to show. Check it out. Most people buying a turret run a wire guided setup and the TSP 6000 can run on multiple frequencies from the factory. I can understand how that can be confusing to others who have never heard of such a thing in the past. BTW, build to order lead time on a Crown turret is less than three months right now.
