I had hoped they would at least use the newer x50 style head geometry. At 1k$ price, Ill keep my trusty R90 for as long as possible.
It is nice that TT is striking back with these newer birds, but not in my pocket book.

Thunder Tiger are the ones who set the retail price, and the wholesale price. Tower is merely the distributor. Now I suppose they could sell it for no markup, but then that would make no sense. TT has decided what they think their product needs to sell for. The market will tell them if they are right or not. Fortunately there will always be low cost items available for those driven by that consideration alone.

The new Raptors look great. Just hoping they come down off of that $1100 price point.

The new Raptors do look great, but to me, any bare kit that is $1000 or more is ridiculous. Align does so well because they can offer a kit with everything needed for $1,238. If TT could do something close to that, they would do well!

TT is quality wise much better than Align. And a different league.
Looking forward to the new Raptor and the price is not that bad. It will be amazing like the R90SE Have had all the Aligns and the Raptor is so much better quality wise and durability .
