Tekin help smoked my new rx8..

I doubt that brushed mode takes up any appreciable room in the firmware though. And if they want to add more features, I would think that with todays flash memory capacity/price, that wouldn't be an issue.

I hear ya though. I doubt it makes any different for the final sale. I still think it's just a matter of offering similar capabilities as the competition. Probably never will be a deal-breaker if it wasn't included, but looks better on a spec sheet when comparing to other manufacturers.
