Sorry to hear you're having terrible day, Tom; I hope it gets better.

Actually, if you read the initial post, the parameters of this little thought experiment posit that the Modelo A & Modelo B are the same, aside from dropout spacing & decals; that's to say there is no implied difference in the quality of the frame or its materials, only that our hypothetical Modelo B is a tad newer by, let's say- a year or so.

Edit: Just to clarify, I've personally been one to err on the side of history, or at least stick to original designs as closely as possible (color notwithstanding; I'm a pro designer, and tend to have ideas along those lines). Fwiw, I was kinda prompted to this little ethical exploration by my Pinarello Asolo. It's a terrific ride & in excellent condition (full Campy Daytona, btw); however, at some point in the past, it has received new decals. The paint seems to be original, similar to other Pianrellos of its era, but apparently the original brand markings flaked off at some point (old Pinarello decals are kinda notorious for that). The current decals are correct to the period, but they did prompt my curiosity.
