Agree new is usually better than original mainly due to aging issues but new is better with the already stated important criteria... QUALITY! There were some new plastic sets being made in South America, they were total garbage. Some cab decals were injet and they were total garbage. There was someone who actually tried to make clear plastic GnR G ramps and cut them out manually with a table saw and yes, they were total garbage. Unfortunately there are people who just want to make a buck and wouldn't think twice about screwing people over. Check the reputation of product before you buy.
