So far we have not seen any SBF PAM from the members of the forum, much less a detailed comparison with older models in a similar configuration, which would help to identify the differences, if any. But I have yet to see any evidence of a difference between PRE and POST raid VSF PAM.
If this brand survives, we will see if there is any "simplification" compared to the old VSF, but for now, I can only say that this is a P.9000 clone that no one except VSF has used, as well as a case, a dial and crown/CG is not the same as cheap KING/V7/XC or TTF.
I won’t be surprised if there are differences from the old models, but if so, then at least this will be primarily due to new batches of ordered parts from contractors, as many parts change over time, both worse and better, and more often neutral side.
I do not have enough information to draw conclusions, but I would not beware of SBF, due to the risks of not getting the level of quality that we are used to seeing for VSF.
