I think that would be fantastic. I saw this a while back, and it made me happy. The only thing I dont get though, is why they wouldnt do GP9 and 456. Why would you make 499 over 456? I like 499, and would gladly use it, but 456 is kinda what I think of when I think of "tape".
To further that point, Ive been using lots of 499 as of late, because they still have some NOS reels in stock locally. The 456 and GP9 has been dried up for over a year. Shouldnt that point them in the direction of what to produce again.
Anyways, we should support them if they return. GP9 still rules for high output IMHO.
