As far as an offering from a vendor, I guess that constitutes innovation. They are able to take a design from whatever source and turn it into a marketable product, props to them.
Looking at Giant Leap's product offering, which over the past 10 or so years I have purchased from A LOT, they have many more innovative offerings. For example, The HardPoint anchor is innovative, even if it is very similar to something Aerotech includes in all of their kits.
The Fireball zipper stopper is very innovative, as well. I had seen this used many years ago at CTRA, but it was just a wad of dish towels, not a Nerf Ball wrapped in Kevlar. It's an improvement off of a common idea, and it's worth money to people. That is market innovation.
I am all for this Mariah kit coming out. But I would save the "most innovative offering" for the first person that comes out with something like an altimeter sled that is able to accommodate any make or model of altimeter without the need to drill holes. Or possibly an altimeter, GPS, radio tracking transmitter all in one altimeter that is the size of the old RRC2.
It all depends on what you want and if you have the money to buy it. My guess is a lot of people will buy this kit. I also have a feeling a lot of people will get it and say "well this is cool, but there is still some room for improvement," as with any design.
