That which seems too good to be true, is.

Welcome Rational Root. Yep, it's a hot potato, this subject.

If you read all the posts in this thread, you will see, I think, that the warning you give is already in there - more than once as I recall.

I like your latter comment above, which is really what it's all about. If you want quality then it is invariably necessary to dig a little deeper in your pocket - the one where you keep your ill gotten gains, that is.

Another way of putting it is that old adage that you simply get what you pays for.
