I think I want to try one of these as it sort of looks to me like an evolution of the Manners TCS I've been running for a while now to me.
The MDT and MPA chassis' I've tried have kind of felt cheap to me when compared to the solid feel of the Manners, but the Matterhorn looks like it'd still maintain that solid/homogenous feel I'm used to while letting me keep more options open as far as playing with the grip and weight balance of the rig.
That said, if I get one, the first thing I will be doing is pulling the faux-wood panels off and hitting them with rattle-can flat black... I like the idea of using the G10-style panels to soak up bad vibes from the aluminum frame, but if I wanted that "Grandpa's rifle" look I'd already have a Foundation lol.
The thing is though with these is that I will be knowingly buying something pretty expensive that the market hasn't really seemed to warm up to very much... so if I don't end up liking it, I'll be stuck with it or forced to take a bath selling it which doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
IIRC, MDT will let you send any of their chassis back for a refund if you don't end up digging them, I wonder if Zermatt does anything like that..?
ETA: it’s too bad some of these stock/chassis makers don’t offer any demo unit program like snowboard manufacturers do, where you can demo the new models before buying… it’d make it a whole lot easier to try something new without having to go on the hook for ~$2K just to test drive one…
woox are pretty garbage. I never even bothered to review mine.
