Major caveat - we clearly don't know how "Stadium" will sound or feel, but we know L6 (i) don't f*ck around when they under promise and over deliver and (ii) D.I went out of his way to point out that this new modeling engine is nothing to do with the old-Helix modeling engine.
So .... as a very happy FM3 owner, today I just now read that
=> the China / US I'm being a dipshit and starting a political thread deal is now done ... from initial readings " ... Chinese imports will not change from their current level of 55%. which is made up of the pre-existing %25 Duty + an additional %30 ... "
In a very rough quick calculation, that is going to add major $$ to each Fractal Unit for them to maintain current profitability margins whilst at the same time, hopefully, seeing no drop off in sales due to higher prices.
That then immediately got me to thinking how Fractal [might] view this new L6 release
=> my best guess is that given they are a [relatively] small company, and looking at this product and the whole ground up new engine and features, both software and hardware, etc... I just cant, i.m.h.o, imagine any way they could build anything with even remotely this feature set for anywhere near this price point .. of course though I could be wrong
I think this new Stadium will be seen as a watershed product in every aspect - its hard to even imagine where it will be in, 1,2 3, 5 , 7 etc... years time. Buy the box once, and get another ~10 years or so of updates ... who the f*ck else does this .... well Kemper, lets not go there :)
Interesting times ahead.
