But since the 700 and 720 were *already* MCA, making the 750 MCA would've
been a minor redesign, while making it ISA meant starting from scratch.
(Something I have GOT to remember - never buy the first version after a
complete redesign. I thought I'd learned my lesson after buying a first
edition of a book but somehow I keep doing this - last time it was my car.)
Oh well, it's ISA now and not much is going to change that.
