If caving shops and retailers (Inglesport, Starless river et al) took a lead and pushed alternatives (after explaining why the 'new' croll is unsatisfactory) then a bit more pressure could be brought to bear on Petzl. I still have a couple of the original crolls which are fine, but some new club members had to get the new ones which IMHO are too small and awkward to use reverse prussiking if you have big hands.
