2013 Optional ABS VS 2014 Deluxe ABS

[treytexag_imp]

Question is this, why would Honda build two different ABS systems? They already designed and built the combo ABS in '13 - why not duplicate it in '14? Is it (presumably) just to shave a few bucks off the end price? Or more likely based on Honda's perceptions of the US market's desires for an ABS? Or feedback from '13 owners?

in addition to the front calipers going from 3 pots on the 13 to two pots on the DLX, the rear calipers went from two pots on the 13 to one pot on the DLX.

Sorry 'bout all the noob questions. Why would Honda do this - again, simply to save dollars?
