agreed.
These are few little touches that i personally think would make technics perfect.

straight tone arm,
10% pitch range not 8% (but not anything over 10%, like 20 or 50 cause its useless. )
get rid of the 78rpm adapter rim thingy and just remove that recess,
keep the new reset button but bring it closer to the pitch fader or just out the way soemwhere up there, lol
get rip of the silly hole for the cartridge / goose neck light thingy, you know that small hole thingy on the left of the tone arm.
get rid of the thingy that lifts the tone arm up and lets it fall gently, totally unessary on a modern dj deck.
get rid of lid hinges if theres any at all

most of the above are cosmetic changes so the deck would look plainer and neater round the edges rather then having unsightly unessesary itens cluttering it up. no qualles with the actual mechanics of the deck, maybe look ata increase in start stop times as they seam to be slow compared to top end vestax/stantons etc.
