THIS is what's irking me, since it's rare for me to buy something brand new. But I take your point that it would probably look suspect to take it back in at this stage. It's definitely sound, so I guess I'll get over it and go ride.
Lesson learned (or remembered... pretty sure I have "learned" this lesson before...). Thanks for the input!
