The key difference being that eHobby reissues aren't counterfeits. KOs of toys that haven't been reissued do potentially reduce the chances of TakTOM actually reissuing that toy in future. Takara held off reissuing Devastator for nearly 12 years before the reissues were so prevalent.
Sure, it'd be great if TakTOM reissued Browning and released an eHobby character based on the Microman version. I'd get them both in a heartbeat if that happened; but if it doesn't then I won't. I'd rather NOT own Browning at all than own a fake.
