[M96][N96ML] Will I lose smooth scribbling if I upgrade the firmware in M96?

Hi,

I'm using N96ML which I recently upgraded to the latest firmware version 1.8.1. I'm glad to see that things are improving but there is one feature that is still lacking. It is the quality of scribbles which are plain ugly.

The thing is this has not always been the case. One of the reasons I still hold on to my old M96 is that the quality of scribbles there rocks! It's all nice and smooth, and the lines have different thickness depending on the way you make the stroke. Feels very natural.

The version of firmware I have on this device is 2014-10-13_16-36_dev_662747e and I do not intend to upgrade for fear of losing the nice scribbling (besides everything just works in this version).

See here for a comparison:

The rough lines of N96ML's scribbles makes annotating PDFs not a very enjoyable experience at all, they are hard to read and look terrible. They look as if I was drawing with a mouse in Windows' Paint program.

I'm guessing that this feature has been dropped from the firmware for whatever reason. Could anyone there with M96 and the latest firmware (currently 2017-01-15) comment on the quality of scribbling?
