I do like this version of the bar. Code 3 became kind of a double-edged sword of being able to swap patterns with combinations of wires, which made things somewhat simplified, but there wasn't a way to actually set up a program like with other companies. Now that code 3 did release a program for this I don't think anyone would argue with me that it is not as good as Sound Off or Whelen. Ever since the halogen age died, I feel like code 3 has been hitting a lot of "close but not quite" designs. It's like they weren't poised to jump into the next phase of the industry and lag just enough to be not a contender, at least for me in my purposes.
