The stickers are an aquired taste, and I don't think many people have taken to them. I think the original intention was to offer variety to the customer, without distributers getting stuck with bows anodised in colours people just didn't want.
That said, if you are prepared to wait a little longer, Ben and Chris seem happy to get the bows and hardware in any colour combo you want, can't say that about the other bow manufacturers
I think the bows look great, and by not removing all the aluminium in the cutout areas, you end up with an incredably durable and consistant riser, especially when compared to some bows on the market that have been machined down to the bones to save weight, only to end up with a flexable riser
I had to pop down to Merlin myself on tuesday, after explaining to Chris what the problem was (my limb had started to chew the lining in the limb pocket and as a result had shifted a little) he took the bow away and worked on it for over 40 minutes, came back with the newly designed limb pockets, new limbs and the new polymer(?) material they are using for the limb rockers all installed...........couldn't have asked for more
