Due to the price bump the CDG's are no longer best bang-for-the-buck action. Price is too close to the competition that I've decided that I'm going to buy a Impact NBK or Terminus Apollo Lite for $170 more for a lightweight build.

Unfortunately it got people so ingrained with the price that they feel it’s worth that. In all honesty Ted was just more than gracious at the amount of time he gave us the opportunity to buy at that price when all along it was worth way more.

What do you get with Impact or Terminus for the extra cost that you don’t get from ARC?Due to the price bump the CDG's are no longer best bang-for-the-buck action.

With Impact you get a company that has a bit more consideration for existing customers I think. ARC does some really cool stuff but that innovation can leave some customers behind sometimes, or at least it feels that way. Nucleus Gen1 vs Gen2, Mausingfield M5 vs M7, long action Mausingfields no longer being produced at all it seems, Archimedes -> CDG. Part of it is because ARC is doing some extremely creative innovation with their designs whereas Impact is more sticking with ol' reliable. But it's something I've noticed.What do you get with Impact or Terminus for the extra cost that you don’t get from ARC?
different bolt throws. 90 vs 75 vs 60, 2 Lug vs 3 Lug. Quick Change (terminus), Swappable Bolt Heads (ARC), Trigger Hanger (impact/ARc)What do you get with Impact or Terminus for the extra cost that you don’t get from ARC?
Tate will answer your emails at 2am. All kidding aside, Impact has great CS, is active in the PRS community and looks out for it's customers. I personally saw Tate give a shooter his new 75 degree bolt at the end of a match after 2 days earlier commenting he was excited to try one.What do you get with Impact or Terminus for the extra cost that you don’t get from ARC?

Its not about "what you get" its about "what do you want" I.E. pick the one you like most.
I'm with Frank on the "action wars" Once you reach the Origin level, its all just gravy. People talk about customer CS but I've never seen one rise above another (I get ignored by all of them). Keep in mind that different disciplines "like" different actions (Herd mentality). They are all damn good.
Yup.
All the actions are so good these days. It's hard to make a bad choice.
Arguing over actions is arguing over the small minutia at this point.
The "action wars" should be over, everyone has won. Great time to be a precision rifle shooter.
The irony in this is the Origin still gives you features above the bare minimum. Many higher prices actions aren't going to swap back and forth between .223, 308, and magnum bolt faces. With a coating. I think the Mack Bro's EVO is a better example of a baseline no-frills quality action.Once you reach the Origin level, its all just gravy.

I don't have any strong reasons except for these:What do you get with Impact or Terminus for the extra cost that you don’t get from ARC?
That’s how I justify everything. Oops there goes 5 grand on a new build.I'm now deep enough into this shit to know that a few hundred bucks either way means nothing
And what negative experiences would those be?In my experience I'd highly recommend spending a couple $2-$300 more and avoid the shit out of the Solus.
An action is forever, cut corners elsewhere.
