I am in favor of changes. I love change. I think of these circumstances as an opportunity, and I think the BL and CW team do as well. There is so much good to gain if this is all approached the right way. Sure, it may not be for everyone. Sure, some changes may mean relearning some nuances, but at the end of the day the goal is to make a better product and a long lived product.
As a personal example: I have a good ol' foxbody mustang that I just love! Have had it for 10 years, was my first mustang, proud owner. I put more $ into it than it's worth on horsepower upgrades, etc. Well, some idiot ran right into it while parked, now it's not worth anything and worse, I can't even drive it. Well, insurance bailed me out with a check, and now i have an opportunity to make what was an ok car into an even better car. It's going to take me a boatload of work, blood, sweat, and tears. Maybe even a little more $. But at the end (if I do it right), I will have a mustang that looks and runs better than before and will (hopefully) last longer as well.
I don't have to do that. I could actually take the insurance money and just get the repairs done...keep the status quo. But, I think about this great opportunity I have to do even more..., how could I pass it up?
