JFP, Rarely (if ever) would I question your expertise, however, I have a lot of experience with lots of firmware updates to lots of hardware and often there are new bugs that pop up due to the update. It's just the nature of the beast. In software development, it is nearly impossible to test every possible scenario and it just takes 1 misplaced, incorrect, or missed character to mess something up, and that is very easy to do when updating code.

Perhaps Durametric is better than most.
I just subscribe to the notion, Don't fix whats not broken.
