I have noticed what is called "scale creep" in the wargaming community. Each new figure on the market pushes for more detail, but with that comes a slight size increase. I have noticed this with the Jennings figures, but man do they look good.

However, I somewhat miss the simple pleasure I got from Tudor/miggle teams. There is a certain charm to the figures which comes from using your imagination to fill in the lacking detail. I can tell you when I got my first painted Tudor teams, in my mind they looked just as good as the best painted miniatures do to me now.

Also, I love my 620. I tweaked it to work the way I like, but I also realize that there are much faster/better boards out there, and I have to decide whether to make that change/investement.

In the end I am just overwhelmed by the options right now, and I would be reluctant to make a stand for any one option. I bet that the lack of voting has to do more with this uncertainty of preference.
