What they failed to tell you was... I was about to buy my system the other week, came with the 'Classic Warranty' (1 Year Onsite, 2 Years Back to Base), so 3 years total.
When I come to order, I noticed the sudden change to 1 year on site. I emailed them, to which they reassured me that it was still 3 years (I still have the email to prove it). However, after phoning through my order, I discovered that it is just 1 year after all, but the total came to the same. They have cut 2 years from the usual service, and charged the same for it. I was getting 1 year on site anyway, I don't see how this is improved.
