Be better if they'd update the tool on their Berge panther.

That is a very sweeping statement for a model that has not been seen yet.

It all depends on end buyer: how much or how little he wants to pay,what type of modeler he is (painter/rivet counter/beginner/teenager)etc. After all, there have never been shortage of KT kits on the market. There are versions from three manufacturers on offer and three more in development so, there is plenty to choose from.

I know ICM has produced kits featuring notable accuracy issues in the past [most recently their T34-76], but this CAD looks accurate to the real thing.
