OK Cheers! I'm with you now and see where you are coming from. You do have a way with words!!
There does seem to be quite a bit of brand/price snobbery around. IMO if you pay a lot for a top end product in any field, it ought to be 110% in every way. If you buy something more economical, you may have to make allowances for some aspects of it. Strange thing is that with the CFX, so far, I haven't found any allowances to make.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
