Helps to look at it from the manufacturer's standpoint: If you can save 50 cents a unit by using chip "B" instead of "A" and you sell 2 million units a year, that's a million bucks that drops straight to the bottom line.

Ölevias got a good reputation very, very quickly, and this is probably why. This is the first time I've read about the reverse being true, but there are always exceptions to every rule! I'll have to keep them in mind for when we buy our next panel.
