The later stuff like Mega Watchmans are still too new and plentiful to attract much attention, and they weren't really significant in any technical sense either.
The Trinitron tube was a game changer when it came out, I don't think anything on the market then could touch it for picture quality.

I have a largely complete collection of the 5" sets from the 70's and 80's now. I even have doubles of each model. They are still common, but uncommon in really top condition.
I still need to find a good KV4000 that's not commanding a ton of money. I already have a KV4100 that's near mint condition.
