I'm not trying to single you out, but there's many others that have the same opinion as you. The problem is no matter how detailed a review or personal opinion is, what someone doesn't like still isn't going to outweigh what's good. For example, take an Avid, it's a darn good rod but the two complaints I hear from people about is the power hump and it feels tip heavy. Those two reasons warrent others to not buy them because they have their own preferences, especially on just holding (the feel) an item.
