Interesting review, while personally this switch seems to be barely an improvement (and would honestly prefer unlubed stuff which is why I'll probably stick to Hyperglides, especially because it will be more expensive) I understand the implications that this might have on the oem scene and for beginners especially cause of the brand name of cherry having stuff like pre lube.
I do feel that cherry is a bit too late when it comes to a redesign, especially with mould changes (same with how I felt about them doing "ergo clears" and "Nixies", but I guess they never needed to improve due to their monopoly, and just want to make sure that competition is kept in check by keeping up with redesigns.
