I don't think the tiger is really representative of current technology. This is similar to another sport that my wife and I are involved in, 3-day eventing. They Olympics are supposed to be a pinnacle event for whatever sport you're involved in. Eventing is being "dumbed down" to continue to be in the Olympics. I don't think you're dumbind down with the Tiger, but I think you're moving away from a "Pinnacle" type of event b/c you're going to an old boat. (I don't need to hear how the tiger is still competative with other F18's, it's still being built with old technology while there is newer, faster stuff out there)
