I have a pair of Royal Robbins climbing shoes--uncomfortable canvas and rubber things that were state of the art when I bought them 25 years ago. When I pulled them out for a day of climbing four years ago, other climbers chuckled (it turned to laughter when they saw me climb). I probably wouldn't have climbed any better with newer high-tech shoes, but they probably wouldn't have climbed as comfortably with a pair of Royal Robbins.
Bach was state of the art at one time. They aren't now. This does not make them bad, but there are some horns out there worth trying, and it makes for an interesting day, trying out new horns.
