Hi Nate 
For those that have seen Nate's video on the EPS (the one we actually sent to dealers before it went public on YouTube), Nate is a good friend of mine, and a good friend of Battle Arms. I've always asked him to give me the good, bad, and ugly without reservation, the same we ask of all testers regardless of our friendship, for they must remain impartial and frank.
We talked about the merits of including the detents and springs, Nate was a big proponent of their inclusion. Initially, the detents and springs were going to be optional. The reasoning behind it is for folks that already have them, they might not want to pay for them, and we need to keep the retail cost down.
After reports came back from testers, we have decided to include them for reasons mentioned previously: the elimination of variables (different lengths springs, variable quality and shape of the detent tips), and preemption of loss of launched detents)
Testers like Nate have lots to do with the production retail version we see today 
Re: the EMR, I think you guys will like what you see. There will be more than one version
