Can I assume you've not looked at any of the offerings from Estes in the past 8 years since there are LOTS of stuff that aren't simple 3 fins and a nose cone.

Yeah, I've looked at plenty of Estes's offerings and bought more than a few... Love the sci-fi type kits and scale rockets.
I'm just commenting that basically those of us flying BP motors, primarily LPR/MPR, and not composite motors, rely primarily upon Estes for our motors. I bought quite a few of the Quest motors and they're good for *certain things* (light rockets you want to fly really high) but the "flea fart" ejections have bit me more than once... Of course with Quest not even really a player any more, that means we're even MORE reliant on Estes for a good selection and size of black powder rocket motors.
Like I said, "kits I can get anywhere"-- there are literally DOZENS of rocket vendors and companies manufacturing kits of various types and kinds nowdays, but when it comes to black powder motors, Estes is pretty much it...
