Way to go out on a limb. That could be said for every item in RC. Better Tires, Better Radios, Better Cars, Better Engine/Motors, etc etc. In fact that could be said for every single consumer item. Better TVs, better game systems, better toasters, etc etc.
Unfortunately what Novak and SP has done won't really help without a governing body coming in to set guidelines and specs. Do we even know that the Novak and SP are even comparable? All we know is that they can't be tinkered with. Works great if you want everyone to run the same speedo. Fails miserable if you want people to have options and the two are very much different. The problem is you can set specs for the ESCs (say no more than 10 degrees fixed timing) but how would a governing body make sure one ESC company didn't put 11 in to get a 10% advantage? (not saying ESC makers are shady, I am sure they would all put 10 in but if one happened to perform better they would be accused of cheating much like in racing).
