cosmetically the haha is the crappiest looking thing i've ever spent 3k on....

this has negligible effect on performance but is part of the 'value equation'...

but perhaps the only point on which some of us (users and non users) can agree is...

assigning dollar value or deciding IF we've gotten our dollars worth regarding THIS product...

is subjective and personal and a uniquely individual issue...

but applying our 'personal' determinations of dollar value for ANY product to OTHER PEOPLE or GROUPS of PEOPLE is a flawed effort.

this was my initial thought too,

in general i find this commentary more reflective of the individual's perspective of customers than the actual customer base.

there is a lot of insight into how/why former customers are treated a given way written in/between these lines...

i find the commentary surrounding the '60 days distinction' especially interesting....

in is going to be something following these two enterprises, hawking the same gadget going forward....

beyond cosmetics, and some obvious DEFICIENCIES from either vendors chunk of iron...

the principles of sway control are identical but personal/company values may MARK the distinctions over time...

2 of my favorite posts on the 'value/worth issue are in this thread and porky says it best with the fewest words....

Hensley Hitch?

my on posts in that thread and THIS one are the end of any feeble efforts (by me) to dissect and convince others on the value issue....

Our 2007 Airstream should arrive anyday!

it's just not a very interesting subject and really messy to handle well.

BUT the thread was the motivation for the users guide and last post (in the thread above) marks the birthdate too...

because it's a LOT more interesting and useful to focus on the issues than the 'value' question....

ya either get it or ya don't, it's either worth it or it isn't...

agree COMPLETELY but it's not so much bias as it is 'who's answer is more informed or useful'....

because IF u r curious about a given product or service it's VERY MUCH like deciding 2try sex...

and it's always best to ask someone who's paid for it....


cheers
