That sounds reasonable, although what I suspect would happen is they modify the formula and have great filament upon release but the initial test filament is crap. Then people who were testers would be on a mission to defame the company due to their experience with the test stuff. I've seen it happen in the forums for a multitude of different products. I personally have purchased products people claim to be junk on the forums and been very surprised by the quality afterwards but most consumers are easily swayed by public opinion.

Just my 2 cent opinion. :)

Cid Vilas!
