I had a chance to take this cue for a test while in Chicago...

I will say the cue is georgeous in person, the finish and fit is perfect. Upon hitting some balls it actually felt like a soft hit but when opened up on the Gold Crowns it came alive. I thought that it had a dead feel at first, and I will say that compared to my personal cues with sumo tips it did. But when applying some shizzit behind the shot it really became a pocketing machine. The cue likes to be used with a firm stroke. Probably after some adjustment it could be gotten used to. The shaft diameter was the only deterant to this cue for me personally. I prefer a 12.7 mm. or so shaft dia, and this cue was 13.12 mm at the tip and 13.3 just behind the ferrulle.
I am working a deal on taking this cue on trade fpr a wrapped custom I have available, and if anyone is interested I will be asking $600 shipped and if not I will be having the shaft turned to my liking and adding it to the collection.
I closing I will say that the question of value is up to the purchaser, but as far as peoples opinion of the cue it got rave reviews!!! It is a looker.
Nice job Kevin keep up the good work!
