If it was actually better and cheaper for all the reasons you list, don't you think it would be the new normal? Maybe it will become that way, but I'm not holding my breath.
It makes sense for the Clippers to try it...anything to differentiate them from the Lakers, and they're owner is a crazy man with more money than God.

Ya, that's the risk. It just may be the new normal once one is proven. So we either get the first of a new generation, or a lame duck. Or go traditional and have the last of a generation if the inverted bowl succeedes and risk it being outdated in 5 years.
Really to bad one doesn't exist to see if it works. I can't help but worry V1 will have issues that can't be fixed easily.
