If GM sent me both, I would be happy to do it ;)
Ok that won't happen! But I'm sure it will take place at some point.

Slightly, but not by much. Also the Icon at one point was 3 different shapes at the same time during the era of F7/F4.5/F2 face choices.

Whatever its guise, as Icon, Paragon or this new Icon, i'm sure it will be popular. Although the original Icon shape was never my own personal cup of tea, it definitely appealed to a great many.
