There is the dilemma. Some of the best models ever are only available in the "medium" quality (720p) cards. On my 4K monitor they look terrible when played at the same size as the newer, better cards. My solution is to occasionally play 6-10 old cards at one time in small mode at a reduced scale setting of about 25%. I have some playlists of only old cards for this purpose.

I understand why Totem doesn't sell these older cards to new customers. The quality is so low that those customers might be driven away. However, Totem should do a better job of explaining this. In particular, they should warn prospective customers which models are not available. The "Our models" pages of the web site should have a warning on each applicable model like "This model is only available on low quality cards which can not be purchased until you reach gold status by buying 40 better quality cards."
Now that I've written this, I'm thinking that maybe Totem should lower the bar: Buy one 3K card so you will know the difference and then you can buy what you please.
