It's like most reviews, the critical tone is overly neutral so as not to
offend purveyors, and so doesn't properly
Wire, I like your review better than Bruce's!!! And I haven't even read Bruce's!
I guess I'm a born skeptic and have never completely trusted any review in any publication that accepts advertising for the products being reviewed. There's too much conflict of interest.

I've read both his comments and Wire Moores, and the truth is somewhere in
between. his are written for a major magazine readership, yours, if you will
excuse me, seem quite hostile to the 4000.
Bruce says If ICE is cool, GEM
is nothing short of amazing. Blah, blah. What he doesn't say is that
As for the color profile being out of wack, now *that* is a major issue in

sporting
I'm not at all hostile to the 4000 ED. It's just a piece of gear.
I used a LS-2000 for a few years and found it to be very effective. I'm sure
the 4000 ED is an improvement. Bruce likes it; I think... ? I couldn't tell

My intention was primarily to challenge someone else's
Wire - I enjoyed your review of a review - some meaty kiblets for

the extent that you can't tell whether it is a good bit of gear or bad. I
think more often it is because they are not sure enough of their own ground
