Mercer Renaissance vs Mercer Genesis? Similar prices and both great reviews - just wondering which I should invest in...

Renaissance has a traditional hard handle. That is the one I have and I like it. The Genesis I believe has a soft rubberized feel to it. So it might have a better grip although the grip on the Renaissance feels just fine. It looks more contemporary and doesn't have a riveted handle. Just a smooth surface. I don't care for the look or feel of the Genesis. I once purchased knives with that kind of rubberized feeling and didn't like it. It felt cheap and seemed like it could wear out. Both knives have the same German steel blades so only the handles are different.

I have the Renaissance and the knives are sharp and very good. One bad thing is that one of the blades stained after carving a turkey. The blade is still good but we could not remove the stain on the blade.

I just noticed another difference. Renaissance has a recessed bolster so that it is easy to resharpen the full length of the blade. Genesis has a traditional bolster that could interfere with sharpening.

I believe the difference is in the handles. The Renaissance is going to have a more classic feel while the Genesis will have a softer feel. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

In concur with BOTH answers! The 600 is a good starter but I prefer this one (but I still kept the 600 for travel purposes).

If I had money, I would get the Combat+ for looks. I haven't tried the Combat+ But I do not believe they are twice as good. I would get the Transform. These are great!!!

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

If you are going to buy a new switch the costs are not that much different. Get the 10/100/1000 for present and future use. In the cyber world everything is new for one day. Tomorrow morning there might be a need for 10/100/1000/T bps.

I had been watching this one for about 3 weeks and was offered by Amazon. How do you know they are EXACTLY the same? All of a sudden price jumped and is offered by horizon. User ratings make up 75% of my purchasing decision. And only ten reviews really doesn't spur my confidence.

I did a lot of research and this is the one I decided to get. Try checking it out at www.dpreview.com. They have excellent reviews and you can do side-by-side comparisons.

Not sure about Amazon as I haven't researched this---but you can call customer service and they will respond immediately (within an hour). I have found them very helpful and reasonably knowledgeable. Also I have researched all major brands and asked at least 3 techs in my area about reliability of 3 flat panels brands. While this is a loaded question since technology is changing so rapidly, all said Panasonic is very good and so far very reliable. Finally I also went to a few a/v specialty stores and a LOCAL major furn/appliance/ELECTRONICS store and asked who services their products. So I have found someone (or 2) businesses within 50 miles of my medium sized city who have excellent reputations. Not wanting to bash Best Buy, HH Gregg, etc. but the techs I talked with had reservations about buying extended warranties from the big store chains. I have no direct experience so I cannot really say. I have researched this V-10 for my mother and she will be buying from a local dealer. She's willing to pay a little more for correct setup and calibration and to integrate with her high end home theater separates. An extended warranty is optional through the dealer or local technician of my choice. Next to last, a very quality oriented Factory Authorized Service Center PROPRIETOR within 50 miles from my house stated that he is part of a network of technicians and recommended cpscentral.com (Computer Priority Service). I have not visited this site. Last I encourage you to investigate in your area before buying. The reason I'm so diligent is that my mother is replacing a 5 yr old Pioneer Elite plasma which cost $10,000 and now will either be repaired and come to my home or recycled. This should help you--don't let your excitement out weigh good reasoning!!

I got the amazon mattress. I think they were $150 a peace . Very interesting the way they delivered.. Got flatten out and very comfortable ... For that price my kids are comfortable.

Very comparable at a much more cost-effective price. I have used both YL and DoTerra and the only difference is the price. Eden's garden is a whole lot friendlier to the wallet. I have stopped buying from YL and DoTerra and just use these.

Hi Thomas... In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment. You can go cheaper, but there will always be that nagging concern about it falling apart at the most inopportune moment. One never regrets investing in quality.

I would consider square trade on amazon instead..almost same price but for 3yrs coverage and a better track record than smart guard.Actually, BBB has lots of complaints that were resolved by refunds of the coverage- hence they keep their A rating, but don't pay out claims.

My local Costco has the 60st30 for $1199 (plus 2 year warranty) so I am most likely going for that for bang for the buck. If I can get the 65st30 for $1499 or less I'll go for that. I expect to make my purchase in 2 weeks max.

I have thought so too. The dramatic price drop now got me suspicious. After seeing the negative reviews around these days I believe you're right. I should have thought about this before buying this piece. Like J. Brooks, I am crossing my fingers. Please don't make me deal with customer service one more time!

I did check out PriceMad after I posted and there are way too many negative comments. I did buy the KDL 52W3000 from Amazon, thru their dealer, J&R-----.; I checked J&R; out and comments/reviews are great. I got it for $2199 with free s&H.; and it has been shipped, so they say.Whoopee!
