Sometimes it takes me a while to sift through verbose replies.

No-where in my reply did I suggest anyone swap anything, including a "rock" for a G-8.

In fact I was careful not to mention any brand. Period. As frankly, it didn't matter in the context of my reply, and still doesn't

The point was *tracking accuracy* and at the focal lengths at which it begins to matter.

Clearly lost on some. Cheesh...

As for budgets, when I'm looking for a product and have a budget in mind, it tends to be a rubbery figure. If I see something that costs about 10% more but gives me 4x better value/performance/whatever, then I'd likely buy it.

Sure, sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand and say "can't afford it" and make an alternative choice, which is fine as well.
