Well, Jon, I for one hope that you are correct about that next 50. I have no dogs in this fight, but I too remember the not too distant past and their woefully ill conceived posturing. I was not impressed, but it did not cause me to dispose of an old K-22 nor some brethern. Bean counters are the bane of product development and quality. In this case I sincerely hope the latter prevails. People come and go .. some, like shooters, are better than others. Some even learn from their mistakes.
edit: I don't mean this to be read the wrong way. I'm saying that I hope S&W comes up with a winner. We're all shotgunners here, Yes? I do not begrudge any attempt to cater to sportsmen nor to further the shooting sports, ever.
