I haven't found much discussion on the forums about SS's new system... unless I missed it. What's everyone think?
I can't stop staring at this thing, even though it's wildy expensive.

I think the system that Kal designed is an incredible system. I don't see me moving on unless I go pro to a 5+ BBL.

I think it is a neat system, just not worth the money. Or I should say worth it to me.

ya, agreed. it has climbed in price quite dramatically since it was first announced and I'd prefer Kal's panel.
The front access to the MT and that SS piping/tree are both suuuuuper sexy though.

There are a lot of features I like on the setup. I think the reason you may not get much interest on this site is because most people that come here are because of Kal's design. We like to build things from scratch. Should something break we have a pretty good chance of troubleshooting it. Something like this SS design is pretty awesome but might prove to be more difficult once something breaks.

I find theirs is missing way too many features.
I'm not a fan of hard plumbing either at smaller sizes like this. It's too much work to clean with no benefit (and greatly increased cost). I liked into hard plumbing when I was first designing but after going through the process steps and doing parts lists, quickly moved away.
When you get much larger (like 5+ BBL) hard plumbing of course makes sense as you really have no other choice.
To each their own of course.
