Agreed the advent of internet based forums offer some chance of getting honest feedback, but do not forget it is as easy for a manufacturer to log on as a buyer and and sing praises of his product. Also the sheer number of comments is so overwhelming and varied often times you come away even more confused than before, after spending a lot of precious time sitting in front of the computer. So my two cents worth, rely more on actual experience at your field or personal one on one feedback from a modeler. I have personally bought several ARFs including World Models, Kangke and VMAR after seeing great-there-is-nothing-like-this-ARF-out-there comments, only to find I have been suckered into getting an overpriced overtouted piece of junk. Keep you eyes peeled on the field and be your own judge.
