I shoot Montecs as well and I have also seen a difference in sharpnessfrom pack to pack.....BUT I don't see the big deal here. I mean the broad head is made to be re-sharpened. I don't think most knifes out on the market today are even remotely close to how sharp I want them to be. I have had to re-sharpen every knife I ever bought. I have many stones and I find sharpening my knifes or broad heads to be fun and at the very least I knowthey WILL be sharp.
