Thanks, guys.

Do I look at the scale on my TS-E 24L II? No.

Is it something others use? I'm not sure, but TBH it doesn't really matter to me.

Will it annoy or bother me during usage? No.

If I sell it, will I divulge it? Yes, but the only likely reason I'd be selling is a TS-E 17L II, and I doubt I'd mind the small hit (if any) on sale price.

Brant, the 'birthmark' concept is the only real issue. But heck, all of my kids have them...

So, I'll be keeping it. Thanks again!
