Hey i think its fun to flog a dead horse.

Not mentioning any names but once some of the die hard brand specific members get into this it will be a crack up.

Stats anyone? Ha ha ha ha.

Alan Hawk has performed very detailed technical reviews of Stella and Saltiga:

You have to look elsewhere for evaluations in relation to how the models perform over longer periods in a real-world context.

NOT AGAIN!!!

I think the last time this topic came up, I said I was going to delete any future threads on it and ban the member who starts the thread. All this thread ever achieves is it brings out the most polarized and unsubstantiated nonsense.

I will let this thread run for now but please keep it sensible. If it deteriorates, it will disappear.

John Sykes:
 Stella has my vote BUT I haven't owned a large Stella or Saltiga (yet - going through that process now!) Given how my smaller Stellas have performed though I will be going that way again.
Holden v's Ford, BMW v's Mercedes... I think this is the same arguement.  I think the best way to make an informed decision as a new buyer is to have a look at Alan Hawks' reviews and then do what Dan suggested and look for long term real world reviews.  I don't think anyone is going to be let down in the high end of the market.  Where honest Warts and all evaluations are really needed is in that Grey area of the "Next Step Down" the problem here is that there are alot more manufacturers with vested interests muddying the waters.  Add to this the fact that there are Magazines out there doing "Cash for Comment" for brands such as the now infamous Tufftackle and it is no real surprise that there are some disappointed punters out there.  Just my thoughts as a newbie.
Cheers,
    John.
