tell me the "BIG" picture...paying more to support some other guy...or realize that measurements and comparisons is a science and a fact upon measuring...I understand loyalty...I also understand a few hundred $$$$$...in my pocket...show me a difference in performance and if significant ( a percentage that actually matters) then you decide if you want to kiss A**....we all want performance...not all have an endless supply of $$$ to bost about I have MS vs AMS vs ebay...I will always take performance for less $$$$ if proven structurally solid.
