This reminds me of a fantastic discussion with a customer not willing to understand why someone would bother paying a lot more for a Spektrum DX18 QQ radio than a DX18. My response is quite simple.

If you don't know why you should buy it, you have no need to buy it.

All of the changes to the 22 are for me major improvements. One side of things are the option parts and design changes, another is build quality. Even though the shocks look the same, the fact that the coating is better, the o-rings are better, the pistons and bushings are machined and they come with the bleeder caps, should make these shocks able to not just feel ok for a day, but maybe even feel great like Kyosho-shocks, and maybe even outlast them. Back in the day I remember buying Unobtanium shock shafts for my AE, and they outlasted the car, staying supershiny and smooth. With the current TLR-shafts, I change them a lot more often, and they wear pretty bad.

It's just how many small streams make a river. All the improvements and mods we've done over the years, better finish, and even more changes and options, all in one neat package for those buying a 22 now, and for those of us whose 22 is both old, worn and ready for replacement.

I have been urging to clean mine up and putting it on the shelf next to all the trophies it has gotten me, and now I can finally do it.
