- However good or bad a product might be, there are more wordsmiths associated with the product than real users who share their experiences
- Even if one has the money & urge to splurge, in the absence of auditioning selection can only be due to word-of-mouth or simply accepting marketing claims. Of course, company reputation (pieces sold) can shorten the selection procedure - "believability"!

There must be a better way of resolving this conundrum (and the associated 'religious' discussions). Right, @autophile, @LBM?
I agree to all of the above. I am just telling fellow member to post his views based on real experiences rather than biased opinions. Thats it !
