Isn't it meant to have all the benefits of oversized press fit bbs, with the benefits of threaded bbs?
Not really as it’s the same width as a PF30 shell but then you have to screw cups in to it anyway...which you could do with a BSA shell.
It’s basically an idea for small batch frame builders who want a meaty BB shell but don’t want the hassle of making good a PF30 interface after fixing it in place. There’s not much in it for their customers over a normal BSA shell. Maybe more space for internal routing and stuffs.

Isn't it meant to have all the benefits of oversized press fit bbs, with the benefits of threaded bbs? It's interesting, that's for sure, but whether it'll become a widely adopted standard isn't clear. You can also get t47 bbs for a lot less than £100.
