Opps, forgot one key point though, the yellow tops only carry a 1 year
warranty to the red tops 3 year warranty...  this is obviously because they
expect yellow tops to see a lot greater abuse.  One final note, you can get
red tops at Costco!  Not sure how it affects the warranty, nor if they are
available at "all" locations.
