Sooo, I just spoke to a 'Top' (so he said) Representative from H2PRO. We had a VERY lengthy (much to my chagrin 
) conversation about the H2Pro 206LE. As most of you know, they are no longer being manufactured. And unfortunately, will never be made again. I called him because I ordered one from Beauty Member that went in to La-La land (I never heard anything concerning the iron once I ordered it).
At any rate, the Rep said that the 206LE and the Runway were identical irons (as most of us know) and that H2Pro/FHI were once the same company. They broke off and separated into 2 companies that carried the same exact products/irons, etc. Well according to him, FHI has lost the relationship with the manufacturer that produced the Runway/206 LE. He also explained the technology behind the Runway/206LE - the 6 plates of ceramic (handmade), etc -was great in that it produced continuous heat but the plates were flaky because of them not being durable - prone to breaking. He says that the continious heat was the reason the iron performed so well NOT the ceramic plates.
For those reasons, that technology will not be used again. They are claiming to have come up with even better technology using the same principle used for the Runway/206LE - continuous heat. He says this new iron is also easier to use for Non-Professionals.
The New Iron is called the Presto Turbo. It's apparently not going to be sold on line - it will only be available for purchases at authorized salons ($200 - cheaper because it won't have the handmade ceramic plates).
Here it is http://www.h2probeautylife.com/subpage/01red/red_00e001.html
Let me know what you guys think.
They're suppose to debut it at the next Bronner's Brother Show in February/in Atlanta

. I know, it disheartening (sp) since we've heard so many great things about the 6 ceramic plates. I'm hoping that this new technology proves to be just ast good or better.
