All I'm gonna say about these fans is that the bearings are crappy. every later CEC that I've come across, no matter what the model, had noisy bearings.

For the first time since a fan forum existed, I believe I see eye to eye to Andrew. His methods are harsh, but I understand the message. It's one thing to love fans like these CECs, but it's another thing to pick up the CEC when there are other much cooler fans available. It's ok to pick it up, if it's what you like ya know.. but to say """""THERE WAS A CASABLANCA COLUMBIA II AND I DIDNT GET IT BECAUSE I GOT THIS HERITAGE INSTEAD THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT"""""" (multiple quotations for paraphrasing) is fan blasphemy. It does our collective senior collectors' heads in and it does nothing to save a rare fan. Granted.... in my early days, I did it as well.... for instance... picked up a hampton bay instead of a Casablanca Zephyr (only because I was young and I listened to Dan, lol) and other such fans that I totally regret picking up, or not picking up.
And... P.S. I understand in this particular instance the CEC might've been the coolest thing at the particular location... and that other cooler fans mentioned were at a different one.
