I do not know how many machines lost and how many retained the self balance at this time, but I also do not know how many e-167s were produced, or how many i-167s were made into e-167s, and visa versa.

I have owned three (3) e167s in my time. They were all converted to software version 12.0 and all retained the self balance feature.
I have never seen a comprehensive explanation for why this feature was discontinued. I can assume, however, that the 'sloppy' control shaft on the gen 2 machines would make self balancing impossible?
