Have never found a product that is actually future proofed or endlessly upgradeable. Practically and logically it's impossible so why anyone would buy into it I have no idea. Basing purchase decisions based on discussions in forums - hmm.
Hi Mike,
I don't know about you but I put a lot more faith in the people on this forum than on what reviewers say. There are some genuine complainers and genuine happy chaps so you get a bit of both. the trick is to read between the lines.
Enjoy the chat room!
Home dem is the only way to make a decision. I've a slightly different take on reviewers and forums. I think both reflect all human life; our different preferences and biases; our different ears. It suits some mags to bash forums and it suits some forums to bash mags. Doesn't mean either is better than the other and I'm not a fan of the smugness which often comes with the bashing.
That said, it's still beyond me why the OP made a purchase decision based on speculation.
