STERNs have been like a Toyota Camry, sturdy n reliable with modest features. It probably got them thru the difficult financial times with the GFC.

I think you will see alot more imagination with the ongoing releases. X Men Pro is that good. The boom design times are back for sure.

Stern have a great batch of very talented people. It has to equate to bigger n better times ahead.  Alot of us are looking forward to each n every release. I certainly am.
