		I go w/ the nu skulpts for other reasons, of course.  But the way I see it, when the nu skulpts are right-on, they're better than anything the ARAH did.  Yet, when you get the baddest of the baddest of the baddest, well...  I like the nu skulpts simply because they are new takes on characters and usually have tighter sculpting involved.  I look at the old arah & comic figures and they remind me of little sausages.  They have no form, no muscle; everything's tubular.  I mean, look at Barrage compared to the v1 Roadblock.  Advances in technology, sure, but Barrage is a great example of what Hasbro did right.  Crosshair and Bludd too.  (I'd use Blackout but he has a weird arm.) 
 
For those who love their ARAH sculpts, more power to them.  Those are things that belong in the past for me.  I have no desire to revisit the past and the biggest fear is that I'd probably go to BT's and buy everything MOC.  Gotta catch 'em all! 
 
While I'm a nu skulpt fan and I do what I can with them, the old era had far more iconic figures, designs, colors and let's face it, a lot of those old designs can't be touched.  I have yet to see a decent Tunnel Rat and Falcon yet.  I wouldn't say you are converted all the way.  I'm willing to bet that if you need a Tunnel Rat or Hawk or Repeater or Falcon or Muskrat, there's only 1 way to go.
