I think its awesome. I don't see why tilt would only make 250 of them in one color, when they know everybody wants one.
Its like proto re-releasing full cores. The old ones still have their value, and are still collected.
I just got a v3 smx two days ago and i can see why people say they are bad for smiths. when you go to do it, sometimes the fork hits the ledge before the deck, like haveing a small peg. i already got used to it though.
