It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
I wonder how true that is when a person drops $5k on an anniversary with a disdained look, unrestored, and the rails not rebuilt.

A few years down the road I'd like to upgrade to a 9' Diamond, but it's going to require tearing out a stud wall into my soldering/pool cue maintenance room. I'll also have to move two steel floor jacks... not a fun process to do it correctly. The oversize 8 fits snugly with 5' on each side but the extra size on the 9 makes a little renovation necessary.
I'm also not knocking Diamond, I have no clue about the material at all and in a photo blown up that much... it's probably barely noticeable in real life unless Diamond is now making rail sights in a 5" version.
