That was fairly fast from Citizen's rerelease to homage.

I've not actually seen this one. It's definitely interesting, but not my taste.

I'm mixed on the actual Citizen one. Want to actually see one in person. Seems like it wears smaller than it looks from the videos I've seen.

I believe @Admit-to-IM owns the Citizen and can at least hold you over with his thoughts before you are able to try in person.

I'm not buying one any time soon unless they start showing up as refurbs on ebay for $175 :) Just kind of curious to see it. It's one of those categories that seems hard to gauge from pictures. It's one of those "the bit of ugly I'm seeing is what makes it cool" things. Kind of like the also just re-released Citizen Orka, although I like this one better than that one.
