The Twister2 is SMD. It was redesigned to SMD because someone was complaining it's
interfering with a TV so the high frequency properties had to be improved. This required
change to SMD.

SMD has other advantages - fast soldering, smaller PCB (cheaper), smaller device.
But has also a disadvantage that it's possible to make an unsoldered joint that is
apparent only under magnification.
