I think Rex uses same ball-point.

Interesting. I've never held a Rex.

Adjustable handle length would be a huge improvement.

I remembered wrong, Rex doesn't have pin. His handle is not stable.
The Rex handles (Ambassador and Konsul), if I recall are threaded and also secured with Loctite.  That's about as stable as joined metal parts get, absent welding.  As far as the Rocnel depressed ball connection, it appears it has (or will have) adjustable tension, and is likely an internal groove/ball connector that should be pretty stable as well, but depending on precision of fit.  It could loosen over time (again is adjustable), but I haven't seen any user comments.  Murat seems to incorporate pretty clever engineering into the Sailor though, so I look forward to some actual reviews.

Hope y'all don't mind a throwback.  Great shave this morning from my #2 favorite razor.

Not at all. I broke my '20 out the other day and put it to about 10 days growth. Opened it up 2 complete rotations and was smoother for 24+ hours.

Nothing cuts my sideburns in quite like an opened up Sailor.

Yours has proto-mojo to boot.  My question is how did you go 10 days cold turkey without shaving?  Outback hike? 

Out of curiosity to see how wide the gap is at 2 full turns open I took a pic on 0 and one on wide open 2 turns.  You could peel potatoes with it.

To me, the fun in shaving is removing a lot of growth in one pass. I rarely ever shave 2 days in a row. 2 times a week is generous.

The 2020 is my Sunday shave today too!  New Feather blade, local artisan shaving soap made with satsuma, emu oil, and coriander, whipped up with a WWI era Plisson brush.  No other razor has come close to taking its' place in my top 3 so far.

I use an iPhone X and don't even think about what models are coming out next. Enjoy what you have
it's pretty darn good for what it is.
The one I have (2021MC) works brilliant and wipes the floor with many other world famous razors.
I like some of the improvements he speaks off on his Insta video.

More stable and long-lasting springs are a definite plus. At some point I'd be curious to know if
owners of older models can send him their devices for a spring upgrade.

The rest sounds like nice to have, but Im no expert in any case

Like Tester28 I don't worry about what the next model might add or whether I could have taken advantage of a special or a sale -- I'm pretty darned happy with my 2021MC, also.  It's one fabulous razor.  As it was for today's shave, which was so damn good:
