The VUE 5 manual lost the index after a few uses, the VUE 4 manual is still in the box, so I can only assume it's OK. My first VUE 3 manual arrived loose leaved, the attempted glueless binding method had failed during transport, a phonecall to Paris was enough for a new manual within 3 days. That leaves the VUE 2 manual, it's looks foxed, buggered, batchered but never lost a page, guess that makes the VUE 2 manual the winner, with V4 as a non-runner :)
