[QUOTE=Trixter]I know the original owner of SOE. I know exactly how SOE got changed to BDS. It's the same thing, except it doesn't have the black edgetape. The quality is the same. The design is the same. I'm sick of people saying that SOE is "better" than BDS, because everything is still made with the same overbuilt design and is the same quality as before. They generally don't make the rig until you order it. BDS is still a highly custom chop, just like SOE was. John Willis, original SOE man, is charging MORE to make you a rig and take LONGER doing it. It's not that i have anything against him, but why pay an extra $50 USD to get the same rig made in 6-8 weeks when you can get the same one made with the same quality in 1 week? It's really a sad story of how he got screwed over, but that doesn't change the fact that BDS gear is still great. People want SOE gear over BDS purely for "political" reasons, not actual quality.
I've owned/dealt with a lot of original SOE gear and BDS gear. The quality is identical. Even the guy i know that has been working there since SOE started up, and stuck through with BDS says the quality is the same. Hell, i LIVE 20 minutes from their shops.
