I think if they charge the same price as ColorDMD does now, I would stick with ColorDMD. Randy's support and service to this hobby has been nothing less then top notch, besides the fact they are quite a few years into this already and have the programing pretty much down to a science as where this would be a new area for Stern to learn during it's trials.
Why not just contract ColorDMD to do the colorizations and use their LCDs in new machines fourth coming with color.
Just my opinion.
