Why do they stop making the better reps?

[danza1812]

There must be a reason or some logic behind it, but it seems as technology advances, the rep factories go backwards and make worse reps as time goes on?

Eg. Closed factory Omega Smp, MBW vintage subs, noobfactory gmt, 4th gen po, original upo...

Factories are focused on better sales and profitability - not better reps. When something stops selling they move on. The other factor is that often the factory actually making the better older reps may have long since gone out of business.
