an opinion is an opinion, nothing more. However, when someone states an opinion as fact..it gets sticky. I was in a music store yesterday and heard a guy say "Martin makes the best." I asked if he had ever played a Santa Cruz, and he said "No, I couldnt afford one of those." At the risk of pissing off the Martin fans, I have to say, MEDIOCRITY KNOWS NOTHING HIGHER THAN ITSELF.
