I like the second one too.
I think in any industry where you have complex projects that need to be
finished by a deadline there will always be less-than-optimal hacks to get
it "finished". Usually if you had more time there would be a number of
things you could do better.
We had a similar situation with an LCD for a car whereby we needed to make
the red colour more "red" near the end of the project, it would have take a
huge amount of time and money to make a new mask set for the actual panel,
so we just put a few red LEDs in the backlight... To this day if you buy a
certain model of car you will get an LCD with white and *red* LEDs in the
backlight to make up for the poor glass performance, I doubt anyone else has
that curious design :-)
