I don't care about variations in aesthetics. What I do care about is an obvious lack of precision, oh excuse me I mean "variance", in a product that has increased precision listed as one of it's selling points. A difference in LPI in checkering? Big whup. On the other hand, variance in slide to frame fit, in a pistol that's marketed as having increased tolerance in it's fit and that variance in turn being dismissed by the company with the logo all over the product? Bovine excrement.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......

How much does slide to frame fit matter accuracy wise on a beretta?
On SIGs for example, you can have a gun which literally rattles but shoots accurately as long as the barrel to slide fit is good.
Dunno. My main concern was if they think the checkering differences are no big deal, what other corners are being cut? Are the build specs the build specs or just a guideline? At this point being dissatisfied isn't an option. I have class in less than 2 weeks and the gun is my spare. Aesthetically speaking I'm gonna use this gun, not hermetically seal it and put it in the back of my safe.

The trigger tune makes it a very sweet pistol. Too heavy for me to want to carry, but a very sweet pistol nonetheless.
Ran 1100 rounds through my first BT this weekend without any stoppages. Total is 1600 without cleaning.
