But not ALL replacement RCMs are built this way, at meets, we've compared them. So, order what I did (not sure I still have the receipt) or follow Rob's advice.
WHY do people doubt the most well-known longstanding expert? (That is, ROB not ME!)
I am doubting him because the design by the factory part by Mercedes was not changed only the fuses are not the same exact color. Solder joint issues are still the same with new ones. That is the one he is selling.
The RCM you bought is an aftermarket one so they can design it any way they want!
