I see exactly what you're saying i.e. MHG=everything I'll ever need, whereas SF=everything I'll ever need+'wow'. The 'wow' I can do without, particularly as it would be accompanied by Mrs Egrets saying 'you spent how much???' However, the MHG does have one advantage over the SF, and this kind of brings us back to what this thread was originally about. If I ever damage the MHG, it will be a case of 'Oh damn', whereas if I bought an SF and subsequently damaged it, it would be more in the realms of 'Oh my GOD!!!' (please picture a terminally scratched Zeiss, and a grown man sunk to his knees in the middle of a forest and crying like a girl). Anyway, I have duly taken the tablets kindly donated by yourself and Lee, and all I can say is, Gibraltar Point here I come.</p></blockquote><p></p>
