CODE 11.59 Starwheel: anyone, thoughts?

[rockdrock]

Dear AP friends, anyone get one yet? full disclosure: I am a big Code 11.59 fan having done a review 3 years ago on this forum. I commented here on the hope that AP combine the 1990s Starwheel into the Code. Voila! The wish came true. The release did not disappoint me but I am yet to see it in the metal. I would love to hear from anyone that has it.

Tell me your thoughts on the following:

1. Do you like it? Yes or no and let me know why? Tell me your thoughts on design?

2. For those in the know, is this model difficult to obtain? I hear rumors that it is reserved for good clients, not something to ask for a first piece.

3. Any thoughts how this model places the Code 11.59 lineup? I get two extreme answers: Code is going to be another Edward collection (forgotten) or it will become the future canvas for AP?

4. Urwerk vs AP: I know, I know. These are two quite different but there is no denying the redundancy in a collection having both. Which do you favor more and why?

Thanks all for your thoughts.
