I've noticed the same thing. A gen 111 was always my grail and was going to be my 40th birthday present. Having now had both H factory and Noob reps there is no way I'd spend the money on a gen, the differences just aren't worth the extra $ IMHO. If I had already got a gen as a gift I'd say there's a 95% chance I would already have sold mine too (and my wife would understand why)....

Owning several reps of the 111 , ( including H & noob one ) is the reason I bought the gen, ....

+1 - I have covered this same situation in a prior post. The REP as just TOO good and it is hard as heck to justify the additional $4,700.00.

Got a gen 111 and a rep 005.

There is little point in keeping both, but it will be the rep that I sell on. The reps really are >95% accurate but I find the <5% really annoying and the gen just feels special.

Completely understand why others wouldn't spend the $ though and I can't see me owning multiple gens if the reps keep getting better. One gen for that special feel and maybe a few reps for variety.
