Nice but really similar to GMK Bento.
Edit: Just realized its like GMK Bento but opposite lol.
Edit 2: Btw I love GMK Bento. I would totally buy this if it was the standard classic Latin legends or classic Latin with Hiragana/Katakana. (I'm not a huge fan of the Neue typeface to be honest.)
So, Bento Revival was my second-ever GMK kit; it has similarities in that the accent is pink over blue, like the bento mods. Furthermore, you correctly point out that the rose mods resemble Bento's accents. However, a few critical differences will be shown when I post swatch photos (when I get good light). Bento's Blue is in "uncanny valley" territory where the blue color shifts depending on the light, something the RAL Green Blue doesn't do. This is why bento was rough to photograph. Secondly, the rose is a rose that is darker and a bit more saturated than the salmon color used in bento. Also, the alphas are different.
As far as the Neue legends are concerned, I think a lot of the resistance towards them is because many people (I am not saying you, just from my reading on it) think Cherry and Cherry legends are integral to the hobby. I do not share that view (SA predates it), and I believe that change is a good thing for the hobby because it brings in others who might not like the traditional cherry design or want something a bit more modern. i don't hate the Cherry Legends, just think something else might be nice for a change. Also, left justified arrows kind of look goofy to my eyes.
Working on this a bit more, here's so more renders- Always improving.
