I also believe that with their design they could bolt on a duckbill nose and end up with the exact same thing as the competition. Looking at the lines up until the front suspension mounts the nose in this area looks a little taller than the rest of the field actually. I wouldn't say they missed the boat though because this has been their approach for a number of years now.
Makes sense, thanks for the input.
