I had a mini and I sold it so I could get a Grand. I'm loving it (except for the occasional over-squonk -- gotta work on that). Next up will be a RM2!

Yeah, the RM2 is next on my list. I've seen a picture someone posted with a black RM2. I'll have to look for it, but I assume he did it himself as I don't see them on Rob's site.
Edit: I see now that it's not a Reomizer. Does anyone know what it is? An Octopus maybe?
All mine are chrome and they are all still working - they have been battered and dropped the same as my Reo. It is possible to dent it a little - but i have not managed to chip any chrome off. In fact - in the old spirit of 'let's see what happens' i blowtorched the top of one at the weekend!

Still no peeling!

I'm guessing it's a bottom feeder compatible ERA with a black Octopus top cap. Dan Patrick told me they fit the ERA. As far as I know, the Octopus has a sealed center post and can't be used on bottom feeders.
