I have a different gripe and it isn't about price. The list seems to be cobbled together from reviews which span a considerable amount of time; there is no attempt to reconcile the "recommendations" within any given grouping, and the cut and paste approach to the summaries, even those from the same reviewer, makes for glaring inconsistencies-eg, The Brinkman Balance is the best TT Fremer heard, with the exception of the Rockport, but elsewhere in the same category the Caliburn beats the Rockport. Frankly, lists, as such, are generally meaningless given the need to match components, but if the point of making these recommendations is to reflect some distillation of the collective knowledge of the reviewers in one handy place, a little more editorial care should be given. I appreciate that manufacturers use these rankings in promoting their wares, but for the reader/user, the section leaves quite a bit to be desired.
