I can definitely buy the suggestion that the Alpha will only work better in the Catalyst; it's hard to imagine it being better than a twin-rail Catalyst in ALL conditions though. And no matter how good it is, it seems they stand to lose some sales. Another $750 or so would make them a profit - some people would pay it - and being pre-order only means no issues deciding how many of each to build. I also like the idea of a "choose your weapon" option, having a track punched and clipped for both and including a complete twin-rail skid. I'd offer it, but I don't see much chance of that unless they get swamped with feedback from people wanting it. I see no problem with pushing the Alpha if they think it'll win over the most riders; I just don't see what they have to lose by offering an option.
