On the whole though, seriously no complaints on the form factor. Lots of awesome changes here.
Now that we don't really need access to them anymore, other than the lights. I'm pretty sure we're going to find a way to mount a lot of them directly under the PD panel and just run the short wires right up to the panel. Having a little more wire would be nice though.
