I can agree with that to a certian extent. I don't know that I'd say "substandard" but I know where you are coming from. It is a pretty unique MF towel. Its different than my Vipers and its definatly different than the CMA BBT. I was suprised at how well it really did though. I wasn't expecting it to absorb as much as it did. Its definatly for smaller jobs but I'm sure I'll always find uses for it. I think that given a preference I would rather have that new purple one but I think I got a good deal on the Platinum BBT anyway. I totally see where you are coming from and can understand though. Maybe that is why they replaced it. They knew it wouldn't really be able to compete with the waffle weave towels.
