I know there is definitely more room to sew in, and closer to the brim with the wide angle...but we never had a single decent hat so we gave up until we got the CCF and had better luck. Most of the problems I can see now were with trying to set the MT-running some with the auto sensor I saw it range from 4 to almost 30 on the same hat-no way a single setting would have worked! But I'm not switching back-I'm happy to stay with the CCF. I'll hang onto the wings in case by some miracle we decide to go back...but no one has asked yet for anything wide or on the sides of a hat..so we won't miss it. Thanks! Roland
