I've rolled them in the shop and haven't been blown away by any differences of note but also not sure how sensitive I am to that.

Firmness level is about the same. Sound/feel is a little more well rounded on the new line, like it's one cohesive piece vs multiple different pieces. Definitely not completely different, and if you like the old insert you should like the new one.
I got a previous putter in hand with the aluminum. I am liking it more the more I play around with it. I think I’m definitely going to go Agera RS for the MC, now I just need to see if I want to go RS-30 or the face balanced RS. But they are really good in hand.
The PEBAX insert just feels a tad too soft in comparison to other inserts, which some may like, but it wasn’t my first choice.

It was a great first experience with the Grandsport in my specs. It sets up really and is so much cleaner than the last version. The sound of the insert is similar but more muted/dense if that makes sense.
Dropped three balls from a sleeve around 10’ and drained the first two. (pushed the third but I’ll blame adrenaline…) Then drilled the next 20’ putt. I could have walked that in @OldandStiff style…
As I worked with it a little more, I could feel the forgiveness with the 3D printing inclusion. It was really stable, even when I missed putts a bit.
Probably the thing I initially took away was how well it would sit behind the ball. Setting it down at address it just didn’t want to move.
Also, while velcro, the headcover is really well done imho for an OEM cover. Thankfully I’ve learned a bit how to sew so I may see how to sew in magnets

I found the newer insert to have a different sound and by that I mean better. The original insert tended to get a bit "tingy" at times. I haven't seen that with the black one.

More of a nod to how much I like the stingray shape. But yea, I've been called worse. lol
It looks like they now have the Agera RS in CB as well. Almost positive the standard RS was the only one initially available in CB. Good to have all these options!
I think this is a huge understatement. I get that looks is very subjective but this edition of the Grandsport is far and away better than the previous.

Agree, its the biggest improvement overall aesthetically
I was able to spend some time with the Agera RS again yesterday and always walk away so impressed. The size of the mallet is right in my wheelhouse, the weight of it makes me feel in control of the putter, the roll is so consistent with the DLFT, I enjoy the aluminum face insert more every time I putt with it, and I love the aesthetics of this years line so much. For me, the best descriptor for the Agera RS: confidence-inspiring.
Was able to swing by PGASS to try out the Vintage Cuda and to see if I prefer the Superstroke or Lamkin Deep edge putter grip to make sure I’m set for Morgan Cup orders on Friday and I’m now officially locked in. Love the feel of the Pebax insert. Cuda head shape lines up nicely for me. Superstroke grip will work.
I made a couple of putts on Sunday with the new Widesport. The face on this putter puts such a good roll on the ball.
