I had to replace the first SH compact one that was bought over 10 years. It was made of plastic so getting a stainless steel look is definitely an upgrade. The rack is solid made, golden standard of the brand. I missed the feature of the sprout from the old one that I could pivot to different side, not a deal breaker though. Love the mug holder by the side of the rack to allow my 2 bulky mugs to stay out instead of taking the space of the rack itself. Hoping to use this one for the next 8-10 years. Please continue to make our life easier and simpler.
