    Jack position different, switch position different. No idea why they changed it for this model, but they did. Rather than keep it standard for a budget model, they decided to re-engineer it, which must have added a reasonable cost. The cocaine was really having an effect on the management by this time.

    My guess would be that because it was a budget model they wanted to distinguish it from the standard, and that was all there was to it.
