Got my NES RGB modded and it is incredible

I just got my NES RGB modded and it is amazing. It has the SNES, N64 and Gamecube style multiout video port on it now.
I can use Composite, S-Video and RGB cable all through the port. So I can use my Gamecube S-Video cables when I want to hook it up to a CRT tv with an S-Video port. The modder also added it to where I have the ability to turn the mod off and just use stock composite and RF of the NES.
It's got a 4 throw switch on it to change the color palettes, with one of the spots reserved to turn the mod off.
Needless to say, this thing is pretty loaded
. It's been recapped with new capacitors and the voltage regulator replaced with a new one so it's running like it's brand new now.
Now on to the reason I mainly had this modded, RGB! Wow, I can not believe the jump from composite to RGB. It is massive. It's like going from SD to 4k. The leap is enormous. I have it hooked up to my upscaler (Framemeister) and line doubler (OSSC) for 1080p output. The thing looks like an emulator now. It's razor sharp.
Pics don't really do it justice and my camera is not the greatest, but here's a some pics.
Here she is:
This is on the OSSC (for some reason my camera would not capture it at its correct brightness so sorry for the darkened pic. It's blindingly bright in person)
This one is on the Framemeister:
The OSSC looks sharper and brighter than the Framemeister in person. It's just my cam didn't capture it at all.
All in all, it's pretty incredible. So happy I got this done.

Looks great! Now will you go down the hole of modding everything with RGB?
Around ~2012 I went into this deep rabbit hole of modding the hell out of every console I had. I bought 2 studio RGB monitors (a 13" Sony BVM and a 20" Ikegami RGB monitor), tons of BNC and SCART cables for every console, a Framemeister, etc., modded everything for RGB + SPDIF audio, bought EverDrives for every console, etc.
A hell of a lot of money spent but it's worth it!

Nice. The NES is one console I have not gotten modded yet, since I haven't bought the flashcart.
I ended up selling my framemeister once I found some PVMs, but I wish I had kept it. I sometimes feel like playing in the living room on the big TV. Lol

Who did you get to mod the NES? If you don't mind me asking. I haven't had anything modded other than my saturn, to play burned discs. I play most of my systems natively through SCART to the PVM...it all works out pretty nicely. And on top of that, I can't recommend Everdrives enough...they will change your life 
I knew the Dude's Rug would be up in here, once I started reading the first post.

Serious question, why not just use an emulator?
