Red is a difficult color to bar-tape. It's not impossible, but a dark slimey green works well with a lot more bar tape colors than does red. That's the only reason. Our psychic punishment for this--and the cantinix---is that when people come by and look at the prototypes, they often RAVE about the color, and 'omment 'ositively on the 'anitis---forcing me or somebody else here to say, "Well....thanks, but...."
The big sidepulls work well, and are kind of in keeping with the simple part of SimpleOne...since they do eliminimate four to six braze- on points, and make home-self-assembly slightly easier. It was not a slam-dunk, though, and good points can be made both ways.
