No vindication for Lane#1 balls is needed; they, like everyone else, make many excellent balls. They wouldn't stay in business or be expanding like they have otherwise.
I also loved the Silver Diamond. While I'd be inclined to buy a new one for a decent price, I doubt that Lane#1 would sell them for a decent price. I do wish someone, who wasn't trying to get rich quickly, would have Brunswick run off a bunch, like Bowlingball.com had them run off the Fire QUantum, but then Brunswick probably does not have the Diamond core in stock; Lane#1 would ahve to supply it.
