Fact is, we've been spoiled by IronX's graphics work, but keep in mind that graphics for a commercial release aren't free. Andrew's pumping out really killer stuff, but he's doing it on his own time, and with the idea of selling those skills to the greater wargaming community. It's his investment towards a commercial wargame graphic design free-lance career, so of course he's going to go all out on his graphics enhancements. Smart business move, really.

There's a cost involved for the commercial graphics, and I'd imagine with a limited budget, most of the money goes towards the coding for the engine changes, where coding is a premium cost. There's always a tradeoff. I'd rather have more games produced with slightly less flashy graphics, than having one game every 5 years with killer graphics. Just my opinion, of course.
