I've been playing PRSi since 93 when I discovered them accidentally (trying out a wah). Anyway, I've owned a lot of different models/years, and I think that lately, their production guitars have no individuallity or character. They have mastered mass producing a superior quality guitar, but they just don't have that mojo in them anymore. In contrast, I found that older Hamers didn't have as much character as the recent ones. The newer ones all seem to have a lot of individuality, and liveliness.
Iteresting about the older Hamers not having character. I had a '96 Studio that I didn't really like much.....I want to try some new Hamers.
Now, I do have a few PRS guitars all post 2000 and love em to death. My favorite PRS is about 5 years old.
Your thoughts give me hope on a new Hamer Monaco Elite! Out with the old - in with the new.

It all comes down to personal preference. Hamers and PRSi are both wonderful guitars! I personally bond more with a PRS because the neck and fretboard radius works with me better than the Hamer but I still love Hamers.
Does a Standard sound like a Les Paul?

I could be wrong, but they look uncomfortable to play. As if there is no place for you picking arm to rest.
