    Hi everyone! I just found this thread and will be stalking it from now on :) I'm new to CX's. We got 20 of them 4 weeks ago today, I like them all right, but not as much as my layers. I feel like these guys are horribly ugly... maybe it's just the 'tween' stage they're in. but as of now, I will...
