I have had to eat a lot of crow here in the last year. I used to be an ARF basher. Then I started seeing a few of the newer ones, and soon afterward, I started reviewing them. When I was awaiting the arrival of the first one, I remember thinking "Now I have to put my personal feelings aside, and give this thing a fair shake". To my utter amazment, the thing was incredable. I have reviewed about 8 or 9 since, and there hasn't been a bad one in the bunch (This coming from a former ARF BASHER!).

I still build, and HIGHLY recommend building (You need those skills for repairs!). But I will no longer bash a product sight unseen. I had to eat an awful lot of those words I said in the past.
