I was combining the "complete and balanced, feed one food and one food only" mindset with the "variety" mind set and got my wires crossed.
I didn't see any problem with the "incomplete", original formula because I was taking into consideration feeding it with the other formulas, and possibly RMB's, too. This, variety, has already been mentioned.
Sorry for any confusion.

Is the "Original" the one you use?
Yes, I use the Original formula.
As I understand it, an AAFCO "complete" diet needs no additional supplementation. It has everything your dog needs. Nature's Variety is a complete diet and Bravo's new Balance line is also a complete diet. Stella & Chewey's may be another one.
And if I remember my Whole Dog Journal correctly, many pre-made raw diets are not complete...you do need to supplement. Sandy Moore found that out when Lear was a pup and she was giving him Oma's Pride. It's incomplete and she was ticked off and worried that he may have been missing something essential while he was growing.
Personally, I prefer the incomplete diets so I can control the supplements and add-ins myself.

Right... thank you! I thought there was one that met AAFCO guidelines and a few that did not.
OMG, just looked up this product. I can't believe how expensive it is. I would be paying over $500 a month on this compared to $50 for one dog on home prepared raw. YIKES

I recently bought this grinder and love it. I'm feeding 180 pounds of meat a month, so this is a much better option for me than buying a pre-ground product.
Yes the Original Formula. The site said 14 lbs of food a week, so at Petfooddirect, it was $582.27 for 55 lbs (40, 10, 5 lbs tube on order). Maybe I should start a business

I am envious. Mike Armstrong (on this board) also makes use of a grinder, and I would too. It would greatly increase my variety options. What kind of bone will it manage? Rib, or what?
Well, you must have a big dog. I would get it for both dogs (total of 36 plus 25 lbs = 61 lbs), 11 lbs a week, and it would cost me..... 483.00...dang!
