Whenever I read threads like this, with people squabbling like school kids in a sand box, it tells me there is no right or wrong...

If you want them buy them....if you don't don't.

Well, synthetics were not around............does not mean it is not better now.

For the OP, it does seem that for those who have installed you have a positive response. I think part of this is the fun of toying with our projects. If that were not the case we all would not be buying a C3. I would say that for many of use, this is our hobby.
