RE: Classic Pattern Engine ?
Kestrel,
I was an OS "die hard" fan, but I find the older models to be much "sweeter" then the current ones. Don't expect the AX to be as good as your FSR. I'd take an FSR or SF over todays models any time.
If I were to buy a 46 today I'd buy the MVVS 49. It's true ABC and will last a life time. Lookup Dar Zeelon or PE for details.
JUST MY 0.02$ I AM NOT TRYING TO START ANOTHER "I HATE/LOVE OS" WAR.
