Yes, they should have made it like the Competition in the first place, but believe me with the uncertainty of it being a major success they took the safe route and I am happy they did.

Based on the residual value for a lease it seems they knew when they released the original that they would be making a Competition in the near future. I mean I guess if no one bought the original M2, then they wouldn't make the Competition, but I was always told if you're going to do something, do it right the first time.
