And yet, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many imagers worldwide us those dinky Takahashi toys to extremely good effect (prize winning), as well as those AP's. There is a definite, quantifiable reason WHY Taks and AP's are used.

Don't hear of too many Santel, Intes' or other Maks being used for fantastic imaging

Visual is FAR more forgiving than imaging.
