This is one time when I don't mind being wrong.

The reason I believed, and still do, that the 888 will be legal is based on the announcement of the price they will be available for during Dec. 5th -April 20th.
I know I'm reading the tea leaves here, but this reading seems fairly clear, IMHO.
Now, if the Talons go for a similar price, the decision might be a bit more difficult, but for now, the 888's seem to be an "obvious" choice......once officially approved.
