Yeah, VFX-1 nicely distributed weight around your head, had flippable visor, detachable cables, it blocked outside lights and had nicely designed headphones which totally cover users ears.
Besides it already had controllable IPD and independent focus adjustments! And 45 degree FOV (compare with todays 31-35 Wrap's).
Looking through users manual, VFX-1 had upgradeable LCD screens and optics. From the beginning Forte made its initial design upgradeable, however upgrade LCD's with higher resolution were never released. I heard that wider-FOV glass optics was released, but in small quantities.
And it looks cool even today, I'm not agree if someone call it bulky. MRG2.2, Flight helmet are bulky, but not VFX-1.
I know it will never happen, but wonder what if Vuzix decide someday to make some VFX "millenium edition", with old shell but new screens, etc.
Today Kevin Mellot
http://mellottsvrpage.com/ makes hobby project on reviving VFX-1 by creating full-functional control box to link VFX-1 with modern computers. With stereoscopy, head-tracking, cyberpuck, etc. I really hope he will make it, and I hope to get my hands on such box!

However, from comfort point of view, Wraps are more comfortable than iWear VR920. And both of them are much easier and faster to wear than VFX-1
