I was ok with the previous DBS in the same spot, but i feel like the rapide is a bit oversized to my taste too. in fact, I have to say that from the original very pure dial of the amvox 2, there are too many little add-ons which make the design move away from something that was very pure in the beginning.
I suppose that if you can afford the ASton +the Amvox transponder, you may as well like to be noticed, at least in some parts of the world...
