Thanks for this list Todd, it is really nice. Many shuttles in this list, but
what I found stranger was the difference between above sets 497 and 928. Both
refer to the same set, but there is some difference in rating. Does anybody
have a good explanation for this?

It's probably similar to why the Toyota Corolla always got a higher rating
than the Geo Prism, even though they were the same car built in the same
factory-- people percieve "Toyotas" as better than "Geos".

I suspect that in this case, it's people percieve "foreign" sets as being
better than "domestic" sets, but that's making the assumption that Lugnet
is more US-centric than it probably is. Another possibility is US users don't
like the 928 as much as their counterparts in the rest of the world like
their 497s...
