I somewhat agree but I think it's a stretch to say ''hatred'', but the jealousy part is spot on! It has reared it's ugly head on the thread... and that's sad, IMO.
Although Eric's and Steve's cues are similar, there is enough of a difference for me to say that Eric's cue is pure genius for Tony. This is a cue for the ages, a legacy cue and a slam dunk for cue of the year in my opinion. Congrats, Eric.
