Given the flatness of this LRWW, I'd suggest that there's at least one person I'd trust to be able to hand lap the NexXxos into flatness...

while not stated explicitly in the review (so I guess most missed the implication ?), the LRWW bp was truly terrible - lost temp bigtime
the bp was probably warped during lapping, this was early on in the WW cycle
