I mean, is anything new not just the old in a repackaged form? Kudos to manufacturers that have eliminated a lot of the tolerance issues over the years and developed better chambers, bigger bullets (why does everything have to be heavy now?) but what is really gained over what is existing? I suppose if I were starting out today, I could get a 22 CM instead of a 22-250, and a 6.5 CM instead of a 270 and go kill stuff. But seriously, nothing "new" is any better than what is already available, not to forget its mostly the Indian and not the arrow anyway. Do the math on the cartridge diameters, I tell folks: .284 - .243 = .041 Angels dancing on the head of pins.
