This mirrors darn near everybody else's opinion as well. As I think I'm

threads :) I think I'll stick with EFSB.... which I bought first anyway
because $20 seemed like a lot better risk than $50....

The survey is probably pretty biased, given than most everyone here is a
serious fan of FT... I wonder if the proportion of gamers for/against
B5W
would be the same in a more general segment of the gaming population?
Assuming there is such a thing...
