lowa banff vs. discontinued lowa tanark

I can't figure why Lowa discontinued the tanark. It was plenty rugged for a two hundred pound guy in really rough terrain, but a couple of years before they discontinued it they changed the stitching and the rocks just ate it up, so they fell apart before the rest of the boot did. Their previous Tanarks did not have thus problem.
Now they've come out with the Banff which I suppose is to replace the Tanark. No way. The Banff is too heavy and too clumsy.
