So I was paging through Casablanca's 2012 catalog, and while I was on pages 48-49, I noticed that they have a new Brescia, separated into two models: Brescia and Brescia Control. But it's junkier than the current Brescia:
-Direct Drive motor (instead of an XLP-2000 motor)
-No more IntelliTouch (replaced by DirecTouch)
-Ugly-looking blades (The blades are rounded, unlike the Badge Series blades on the old Brescia)
-New model numbers (no "D" for 3-speed or "Z" for IT3, just a 550 prefix, with a-15 or -16 suffix for 3-speed models, or an -18 or -19 suffix for DirecTouch models)
-Ugly Hunter-style pullchains with Casablanca logo (Instead of an ovular pullchain with Casablanca logo)
See for yourself here:
s7d5.scene7.com/s7/brochure/flash_brochure.jsp?company=HunterFan&sku=Casa%20e-catalog&config=HunterFan/skin&locale=en&zoomheight=600&zoomwidth=800
I knew this was going to happen eventually. Are quality ceiling fans a dying breed?
Also, on another note, they have adpoted some of Hunter's models with Direct Drive (WhisperWind) motors:
-The Ainsworth Series (restyled Paramount XP with different blade arms) (pages 24-27)
-The Tribeca Series (Now available in 52", no more 72") (pages 60-61)
-The Compass Point (Forget what the Hunter version of this was, I think it was called the Colorado or something like that, the Compass Point has restyled, thicker blades) (page 94)
-The Charthouse (Little changes from the Hunter model, a bit more decorative) (page 96)
-The Felini Series (Identical to the Hunter models, but with remotes) (pages 108-109)
So what does everyone think of this change? Hunter's in charge of Casablanca now, but will they totally take over Casablanca? Let's hope not. (:
