Hi In a market that only *has* two competitors doing new gear and each only has a single high end counter …. there’s not a lot to talk about. At this point it’s not really clear if the Pendulum designs have a future at all. That would get you down to one still doing new designs.
Sorting out surplus will always be a matter of “the new one is better” (as long as it’s higher priced).
