1. Obsession
2. Disappointment
3. Education
4. Appreciation
5. Boredom
It's that way for everyone. You get excited and ultimately obsessed with the hobby. Then disappointed once you hit a couple of landmines and realize there is no 'perfect Sub'. Finally you settle down, get some education (which never ends) and really start to understand the hobby. You begin to appreciate replicas as the fine works of art they are. You have owned two or three versons of that SS sub you fixated on for years and your purchases encompass a broader range of brands and styles. But eventually you see most everything and ultimately get bored.
The cycle repeats itself in a slightly different order for each person, but you never leave. The hobby owns your ass. It's like the Godfather and everytime you think you're out, a slew of new models come out and it pulls you back in.
