although I am not your friend,
I respect your decision, sure you will enjoy passion at other brands.
I don't think other brands will be different, unless it's a small brand that still maintains close relationship with the fans and collectors (such as X mas..... LOL). As long as there are stakeholders - low expectations for me... :))))
My Vintage and Pre-V are above and beyond any single person or even brand ownership, and my passion towards them is as strong as ever!
See you soon my friend,
