Abusing my mod privleges to reply to this - I really don't, actually. At the time I always thought the Mesa was spiritually kind of a "Mark V" (which didn't exist at the time) more than anything else, and now that they actually DO make a Mark V, and that it does everything I liked about my Nomad but better, I'm good. :lol::lol: I have a Mark V AND a Roadster head right now, but I really miss my old Nomad combo, so I should buy this!
