And for the $64k question, what's the offical name for this feature[?]
Wow good question Rodney. It actually totally escaped me and it's not in the latest brochures! [:p] I'm going to say Touchstart or Softstart.

Hmmm...Is this feature geared towards those with severe carpal tunnel?
I now only have to push against the tension resistance for 0.5-1.0 seconds or so--I guess it is simply a matter of letting go as soon as I want or just continuing to hold it in place for no real reason...very cool feature and thanks for sharing. This will save wear and tear on my ligaments. [:D]

Wow, no dealer cared to tell me.
What's the point of such feature?
