It's not a terribly good one, though. Searching for a Speed Ross will yield
a few more results, and there was little difference in overall design
between the two.

Yah, but far as I've heard one was a clone of the other
and thus sufficiently close in design that it makes little or no difference.
I wouldn't say a Giro was similar except in general layout.

When will you grace Denmark with a visit btw?
Its 36 bloody Celcius in the sun here at 3 pm and its expected
to last all week. Can anyone guess who has a heap of work all week,
so he can't go out and enjoy it. Go on...take a wild guess. *sulk* ;-)

I thought that the country shut down whenever the temperature was above
29 C.

AFAIK the Orbit Crystal was a "snapshot" clone of the Speed Ross, ie
the design was licenced to Orbit, but Peter Ross *continued* to
develop the Speed Ross. AFAIK the improvements did not feed back to
Orbit. (Sorry, I have no idea of the differences). And the last I
heard (from Peter a long time ago) Orbit never paid him for the
licencing :-(
