Came close to buying a SPF before I decided to stick to my original plan of buying a Kirkham. Two aspects of the SPF body that have never appealed to me are the side louvers and the nose. Side louvers because the shape and turn-in of the openings aren't right, and the nose because the originals where more elliptical with a milder turn-in, whereas the SPF is a bit too oval with a sharper radius to the turn-in. Th rest looks pretty good.
While I still love my Kirkham (#142), overall, I think ERA has always had the most esthetically pleasing shape of all, with the second generation Hi Tech a close second. Kirkham third.
