I didn't see it as an attack but as an observation of what is available in the market. Maybe some suppliers don't have access to these or the price would be too great and the average person couldn't afford one of these in the first place. It' still nice to drooooooool.

The problem with the written word is you can't always tell the tone of what is being said so people often take things the wrong way and read more into a statement than is meant. Many things that are meant as simply "matter of fact" or even opinions & observations can be easily taken out of context.
I know this is the case here by 220g and I know that Wendell wouldn't misrepresent his products.
Pictures can be very ambiguous. Sometimes I'll take a picture of something and think wow, I wish it always looked that good in person and then on the other hand some really nice stuff isn't very photogenic.

Totally agree with you Greg. I think all of us on this board that know Wendell have great respect for him and maybe someone took something the wrong way. And your right about pictures - but with me my pictures are usually pretty bad and I think why can't I take a picture of how that really looks. OTOH I see a pretty picture on a web site and buy it and when it arrives I go WTF is that? That surely can't be what I bought or saw on the web site? Big sigh - oh poor me LOL

You're right Ruth . I think if we see a pic of something ,that's what it should look like when we receive it. In seeing a pic of something that interests us we should always ask if we are buying the actual piece and what lighting it is under,what height is the lighting, what K and even what brand of bulb.
