cool.
I didn't mean to discourage anyone from sharing his/her opinion (it had already been shared, anyway), just wanted to agree with him and let him know that he'd get pages of differing opinions and that he shouldn't worry about it or feel like he had to justify his.
And I agree with you. Value is absolutely relative to the user. Please keep that in mind; I'm only ever saying what I value. Not saying someone else is wrong by implication.
I am an impulse buyer. If someone wants something (pc8/SRM/Coach/sew-up tires/whatever) that'll improve their enjoyment of the experience, cool. If they ask opinions I'll say what I would or wouldn't do, but I'm never saying my opinion is right or wrong. Reasonable people can value different things. It's absolutely nbd.
