That's why it might be beneficial to have both versions of the X20 checked out side by side by an established reviewer with no financial connection to Emerald. I also believe Alistair when he says that there is no tonal difference between the two, and I also expect that even a highly experienced reviewer like Tony would be hard pressed to subjectively detect a sonic difference between X20's with pin and pinless bridges.
Aside from that, it would helpful to have an impartial reviewer experience the ergonomic improvements with the two guitars side by side.
