I'm torn after typing on this board for the past few weeks. It's an amazing board with the ability to go plateless to plate and back with ease, using a unique staggered gasket implementation that I've personally never seen before. But at $288, I'm not sure there's a huge market for a board like this in 2023 with insane value boards like the Neo 65 and others coming in at half the price or less, which is great but also... is the midrange shrinking/disappearing? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
