Did you get the new pins with the full capture protection to keep the fibers from breaking? Those are really nice... and they also offer a polycarbonate pin guard to protect the fibers at the other weak point in past models.

I'm ordering another RT900 in a couple weeks, and retrofitting my other two with the new full-capture pins and a couple pin guards. The purple haze lights really work well too if you just want to see after dark...
