I totally agree on the "screwed the pooch" part with the new case design Avalance. Also I've noticed that on my No Flash model, the trigger speed is no faster than the Leaf River IR that I have. For $150 less with the same functionality, the Leaf River gets my vote as the IR camera to own. Also the late '06 models of the Leaf River cameras now come with an expansion port where you can add up to (4) externally powered IR light arrays so you will be able to throw tons of IR illumination out there.
