Yes, that's why I rely upon forums like this & Youtube for information. However, we have to take things with a grain of salt and read between the lines so to speak.

Once someone on a different forum was bragging about his theater organ sounds in the Roland Fantom XR module. I know people bought the Fantom rack module just to play the theater organ samples. The only problem? It takes about 20 to 30 minutes for the samples to be loaded in the Fantom where as they load instantly in my V3 Sound Desktop arranger module. The major flaw he didn't mention could have influenced other musicians to jump in and buy both samples and the Roland Fantom XR module only to find out you have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for the samples to load up. Can you imaging having to do it in the middle of a gig? I gently pointed out in a question format; how long does it take for the samples to load up? Only then, he admitted.

I've seen fellow musicians overly defending or childishly bragging about their own music gear (Maybe self-vindication?). The end result is that we become an expensive influence on one another. That is not good as many of us musicians have some kind of hereditary tendency for GAS! LOL
