Thanks for the kind words, James. When you eventually do install them, I'd
appreciate any feedback you might have on the instructions.

Also, they're not quite "identical". The most obvious difference is that on
the old panels the word SEQUENCER was done in a slightly smaller font than
the other titles, which always bothered me. So it is possible, if you know
that fact, to tell at a glance whether a Polaris has the new or old panels.
