Apart from the technicalities, I find this model not so much better than the original as of yet. Perhaps if you try to think a little outside the "box" that the Deimos currently is... the major gripe I have with the current mediaVPS model is that it's "HTL'd" but not so much so, it still feels faceted. It still feels like a cheap CGI model from the nineties, quake 2 style.
This model simply takes that approach and smoothes it a little bit. Not enough of a change to get my emotions firing.
But please go on, it's a very entertaining endeavour, and always a challenge to be met.
