The iffy brand was Garret, and it concerns a discontinued, cheaper model being misrepresented as the new and better one.
@DesertRatTom, the one Nick received from Amazon labeled ''Garret'' was an out right counterfeit.. (see Nick's thread on this) their (Amazon's) 3rd party vendor that sold the unit has since has closed up shop but was back in business just a few hours later under another name, and by all indications, that counterfeit unit is still being offered by/through Amazon...
