I don't know if I agree with you. I think the Haigh is all flash and no substance. I've use the Lindesay model for years, and it has done perfectly well in all areas. To me, the Haigh is just the same thing with more bells and whistles. It was only put out by brick manufacturers to get us to pay more money for trivial features; The fundamentals are just the same as the Lindesay.
I believe they've missed the point entirely, and I'll be sticking with my good old Lindesay for a while.
Typical Lindesay fanboy response. The Haigh is a breath of fresh air in an industry suffering from a severe lack of innovation. Klaussen is a visionary-- he's taken a classic formula and made it not only better, but tweaked it in such a way that it can appeal to both hardcore brickers and casual ones.
If you're a casual bricker, you may as well stick to the
King standard of bricks for its quality:cost ratio. It's obviously not the best brick around, but even my grandmother could use it to build a fireplace.
But, if you're a hardcore bricker the
Lindesay standard has the reputation and workmanship to justify its existence. Just look at the massive catalog of high profile structures using the
Lindesay standard. The
Haigh standard, while a novel idea and a fine bit of craftsmanship, just doesn't fit in. Particularly in this current economic climate.
