This is why I have such respect for you MF! You have your opinion but you're very open to seeing the point of view of others and don't discriminate that opinion as long as it makes sense!!!

I get why you love certain models and for your reasons just like me! Yeah I'm going to evolve my opinion as time goes on, I've been doing this just over a year long and I have so much more to learn and discover.
Some may see my opinion evolving as me trying to please others or using it as an excuse when I make a mistake with something. But I'm happy to be wrong and have it pointed out respectfully because being wrong means to find something new and I love finding out new stuff especially if its something that most have only speculated on. 

But in my opinion if people are not open to new ideas or willing to evolve their own opinions, especially ones they have made on their own, then they aren't doing anyone any favours by pushing them on others that don't agree and I'm sorry to say that their ignorance leaves them to what I think is a very boring life.

PS, I'll get some good pictures of the Eclipse in the next few days! Yes it's the 75 store brand with a very dark green base, fluoro orange cowl and I'm trying to find a matching dark green catcher and I'm close but not there yet! It has a high arch design without the pleat on the arch but also a smother finish compared to the Silver Corsair and Green Contessa store brand high arch bases I have from a similar era.
