WOW. The new Key West GLOW will knock your socks off. Comparing it to the LE, the LE comes out a poor second. Actually in last place, it looks like a school project your 1st grader would do. The amazing strides that HL has made thru the years is never more evident than a comparison of these two. Bob would be proud of the palm tree, it actually looks like it would sway in the wind. The buildings are magnificent compared to the outhouse on the LE. Someone who is not a HL collector, comparing the two, would leave the poor old LE sitting on the shelf.

I still do not care for the concept of GLOWS but it would take a person of stronger willpower than me to walk away and leave it sitting on the shelf.

Old is nice, but not necessarily beautiful, as I tell my reflection every morning while I shave.

I haven't seen the Key West GLOW yet, but from Fred's description I'd say this cements the trend that recent GLOWs have established. What trend? Having significantly more "eye appeal" than the LE of the same lighthouse.

If this is true, the larger question, as addressed in several other threads within the Forums, is what does it all mean? For Harbour Lights and for the dedicated HL collector?

Maybe Bob knows?

"Maybe Bob knows"...is someone looking for me?

I haven't seen the Key West GLOW yet but I trust Fred's judgement. Unfortunately, I do not own a Key West LE but I'm getting the feeling I will own the GLOW in a short period of time.

That's the word from the East Coast where it's 30 degrees and we may be expecting a little snow tomorrow. <*^*>

The Latest Models Thread could benefit from this kind of information. That thread could use the numbers.
