are you kidding me, the Droid is a almost line for line copy of a shocker NXT.
While I'm not digging the pics, I will wait to see it in person and fire it before I pass judgement. You anti-fan boys are soo agg in your hatred you make this thread look like a cut and paste from pbn.

Anyone consider the angle that SP may be putting out a product under a different name to distance themselves from their own bad press?

Of course. However, all the superfans don't seem to get that. If SP was such a high quality company why bother making a new name?

I think that has been considered to the point where it is nearly scientific law.

I agree with the bit about the droid, it's looks just like an NXT, although there are only so many ways to do an LPR-less spooler.

However, I think it's perfectly fine to pass judgement now. Does any company that exhibits their business practices deserve a fair shake in return? Plus, compnaies need to be called on the carpet when they recycle/regurgitate a product and then hype it to the hilt. Sure, the "Crap" in the title was a bit much, but so are SP's claims.

At this point all I'm hearing from you guys is HK FTW. Your all ridiculous.
Your hate is AGG.

I'd go on to say something else but i'd just be wasting my time.

Well, if you can't separate the product from the business ethics of the company, then that's fine, lord knows I've boycotted my share of products in my day. Doesn't provide much reason to call the product crap though. And neither does something being based on common designs make it crap.

I doubt it. I think it's a simple as wanting another brand line. Gives the company the opportunity to catch more marketshare, and double the marketing space. It can also provide them with a chance to offer more variation in marketing.

Did you even read what I wrote? I'm sorry, but at least our dislike of SP is justified. I'm light years away from HK and Agg.
