I would have kept my old F6 but I spilled gasoline on it last summer and ever since the face has been badly pitted. I buffed a bunch of it out but then my LCDs started burning out too. I am a little surprised they didn't have the override on the new model. I wonder why they opted not to do that. Don't feel alone, I'm still struggling too. I quit weighing, it is just driving me nuts it fluctuates so much I am now just going by size and clothes.
