Anybody like the new LMI truss rods that can be adjusted with 3 different tools?

I didn't notice that option the last time I ordered a two way LMI truss rod in May. Maybe it's a pretty new feature?

It seems like making it possible to use all three types of tools for an acoustic guitar would require a bigger hole through the upper face brace than I would want to consider drilling there. I guess you could make the brace taller to compensate though. I could see the 1/4" driver being a nice option if you could get it to the truss rod nut. I have my doubts about how usable the screw driver slot would be.

Jay - that's why I asked... I have run out of my Allied Lutherie rods and need to get some more. Also, I need one for the cs-336 I'm working on. This will be the first rod I intstall with adjustment at the headstock. I had the same thought that it might require a larger access hole, which would not be good for headstock adjustment. Looks like Allied has changed thier rod... Would the LMI rod be suitable for the headstock adjustment or otherwise...?

...I meant the conventional LMI rod that is not 3 way adjustable...
