newtoht, to tell you the truth, I personally like the looks of the 1050. Just because it is "so" different looking than the mass production receivers.

The green button really enhances the overall product. There are some that find fault with the 1050. It really comes down to personal preference. When someone says, "That receiver looks different" than you have something that most people have not seen. This may sound odd, but there are times that I just "look" at the 1050 because it is so "different".
