If it’s anything like the 452-453-455-457 evolution, I’m looking forward to it.
Maybe the 600s will be all that and a bag of chips, in fact I hope they are. But like so much else these days, most changes are meant to lower production expense, and are billed as improvements so that something can be sold for even more money than before.
So I'm cynical and skeptical. But I'll try one if someone near me buys one and lets me shoot it. Looking at the site, the Lux model is the one I would be interested in.
I hear you as it’s a business and the competition is tough so that makes reputable manufacturers work harder. I don’t think most people have been disappointed with the plethora of new designs from CZ in just a few years

Im not sure how any of the subject at hand involves harder work, or just attempts to reduce production cost (and thereby make more money). As for disappointment, the discontinuation of the 550 was hugely unpopular. I have no doubt that many of us do not care to see the 527 go either, at least I know that I hate the idea.
For a number of years Ive noted disturbing trends among firearms manufacturers, all centered around making things more cheaply and selling them for more money by promoting everything to be "new and improved". It's not just firearms either, it's all industry. The tank water heater of thirty years ago was generally counted on to last around ten years, today you would be lucky to get five or six years out of one. Built more cheaply, but not priced more cheaply.
So, (shrug) like I said. I wont condemn something I havent even touched at this point. But considering that the 557 replacement of the 550 was strictly an issue of lowering production costs, I cant help but worry that we are just a hop and skip away from molded plastic trigger guards and the same flimsy internal parts my gunsmith tells me are common on newer American rifles.
Hoping for the best.
