Really? When I had a 130 for about a year, it was rock solid. I wasn't
too concerned about its well-being back in those days, either :P I
usually carried it around in the large pocket of some cargo pants, so it
was constantly banging against my leg. I also sent it flying a few times
and it always came right back. IMHO, the 130s are built more sturdily
than the 2x00s.
