I wasn't going to mention a competitor's product, but since you brought it up . . .

I think Paizo has shown a lot of courage to continue to support 3.5 with their Pathfinder line; I also think they've made a good business decision. Wizards' decision to release 4E seems to be far less popular than their decision to release 3.5 (which had no small number of detractors once upon a time) and I do not know of a single gamer in my (admittedly small) circle of friends who plans to spend his hard-earned cash on 4E. We all have plenty of 3.5 material - more than we could ever use, actually - and plenty of house rules to smooth over the rough edges. While Wizards pursues 4E, I think there will be a significant 3.5 market who will reward publishers that continue to support their preferred system with new releases.

That said, if the Mechanics chose to release the remaining City Quarters books in 4E, then those books would probably be the ONLY 4E products that I would ever buy. Why? Because Christopher West's maps and the descriptive text would be worth it even if I had to generate the stat blocks on my own.

For what it's worth, I hope that the Mechanics choose to finish the City Quarters line with the 3.5 system. It would be a shame to have a city divided by two editions - I'm imagining a white line painted through the center of town and a visitor asking a local what the line is for . . .
