Just to let you all know, there were a few new styles introduced by Berkline to the dealers at the High Point Market in North Carolina.

Here are some quick pics:

Maybe it's just the leather that it's shown in, but I really like this one the best. It has a great transitional style that could really fit into just about any theater. Plus, Berkline didn't have a good selling pillow-top arm until the release of this style. I think that will help it a lot.

This one is pretty much taking the place of the 075, which to my surprise, just didn't sell that well. This is basically taking all of the features of the 075 and the old 175 and merging them together. Nothing we haven't ever seen before, really. But still likely a good contender among the rest of the line-up.

This particular style is utilizing an adjustable headrest, which until now, was only available in Berkline's more contemporary styles. Now, it's available in this transitional style. This feature has also been added to the 45012, but was re-designated as the 45002.

Anyway. Kind of exciting to see what's new, huh?

Just a quick note, Kyle. It wasn't clear in your original post and I'm not sure if you caught this at the Market but not only is the head rest on the 45002/45012 adjustable but it is a powered head rest. The power recline and head rest controls were shown on a wand at the Market but that is still open for debate on the production model according to my rep. The controls will be in the normal place on the arm/cushion or on the wand. I voted for the wand but we'll see how that goes.

I'm exited about the new models that are replacing the discontinued ones. The rail lights shown on the black model were pretty cool too.

Yeah, I knew about the powered headrest, but because it was still "up in the air", I decided I wouldn't mention it here. In a perfect world, the powered headrest would be a fantastic feature, but it has potential to be pretty problematic. Heck, I have enough trouble out of the lighted cupholders! :D
