Oryoki,
I agree that report is a far better term than "review" which carries
the implication that the reviewer has first hand experience with the
unit and is making an assessment on the basis of that experience.
That said, the way you condense the available information into a
concise and easily digestible format is an impressive feat and the
results are extremely informative.
cheers
Paul
