Just wanted to share some of my experiences on the forum - some of them will be good, others won't be, this turns out to be one that isn't. It happens and that's more than enough reason to share it. Just to be clear, I didn't go in there expecting top of the industry. I went in there to experience something I hadn't done before (going into a value shop). Just like you, I'm all for broadening my horizons. But I'm relatively new, still working my way up towards MMF with a stranger.
I feel the AR section sometimes feels too generic and overly optimistic, with the exception of a few excellent and detailed reviews (yours included). Doesn't allow easy comparison. That's why I'm asking for recommendations here.
