Tell us is there any huge difference in this two firmwares?
Burn strategies updates cause any advance for MCC004/TY003 and other “class1”?
What about 1.85. All burn strategies was updated.

Will this firmware be bundled with BT and other stuff 
MadDog OEM firmware 1.f3 has latest strategies. Does numbers of burn strategies for 4550A MadDog similar to 4551A (1-Z2, 1-X3 and 1.85).
MadDog 1.F3 firmware has 1.11 for DVD+R when even 1.85 for 4551A has 1.06m.
