Quoted from NPO:Short and to the point: AFM is worth the hype but not the price. There NO WAY there's enough game in AFM to justify $8k. People that can afford it - hey - God bless them. They have that kind of money, more power to them. But not all grandiose purchases can possibly be considered wise ones, and $8k on ANY pin - IMHO - is definitely not wise. Most people that pay that kind of money are paying with their hearts, and typically heart ----> wallet.
Uh...how many people do you know who have bought an AFM in the last year and a half who have lost a substantial amount of money on that purchase (or any money for that matter)?
And since $8k on "any pin" is definitely not wise in your opinion, I can only imagine what you think about those of us who own MM and have ordered BHZA.
If you can't afford the B/W pins that you want, be happy with your Data East pins. Nothing wrong with that, but no need to tell others that they haven't made a wise decision.
