Absolutely. And you have to change to find out it doesn't work. E\-One aerials, as Skip will tell you, work well and had for years in Boston. The underslug jacks on the E\-One's are a perfect design for Boston's tight neighborhoods. And now being able to get back to a single rear axle truck, its a perfect fit. The Pierce Ascendant is about the only other rig I can think of that can come close. E\-One's build quality went WAY down a number of years ago and maybe that had something to do with the initial change. But in the last few years, being out from under the Federal Signal blanket has, according to multiple reports, done wonders for E\-One and their quality. And to have the top brass of BFD demo and commit to buying the initial 4 Metro's , says something about the product. Not to mention if they are indeed buying 4 more (at the expense of half an academy class), they must be at least fairly impressed with what they saw and speed up the turnover.
