I also think that those Kustom Reissues were pretty nice. I don't think they were given enough time to prove themselves. I think they were only on the market for about a year, and almost exclusively online.
I just spotted the newest Kustoms in Sam Ash and Online. No tuck'n'roll. They are Vintage-looking stacks (same style as Marshall), solid state, nice build quality, and they retained the blue pilot light (as a gesture to the past, I guess). They're not cheap, but much less than a Marshall stack. The new Kustoms seem to be aimed at the quality level and price of the mid-priced and younger market. I didn't get a chance to play one yet.
I think while the tuck'n'roll is our favorite, I don't think the younger market really went for that. I think that's why the reissues were scrapped so quickly.
