Interesting comment Shoop. I was thinking nearly the same thing. And I am not a fan of Quantums. I would have preferred them to spec an Arrow XT to show that Arrow XT will work in the county. If it can work in Alexandria and Arlington and the airports it can work in Ffx County.

I can tell you, the lack of room for the officer in the XT versus the Velocity and the Quantum is VERY noticeable. The XT is the last remaining 96" wide cab that Pierce makes, and the loss of those couple of inches make a lot of difference, especially when the officer's trying to don an airpack.
Just my humble opinion after weighing the good and the bad of all of the Pierce cabs.
