I believe I should have said 'potential' buyer, then.....!

And trust me, there are plenty of people here that give unflattering descriptions of equipment they have already bought..... often because they are forced into buying sight unseen because of the scarcity of dealers in their area.

This is where understanding the difference between a dealer's review and a 'potential' or existing buyer's one can save you a lot of money (and remorse!).
