Then you have the real problem. Which do I *like* better, which *is* better
I hope you are joking. If those two are different in your mind, then you do have a real problem. If you start trying to please someone else, or second guess some "absolute" or objective then you will never be happy with what you choose. The only thing that should be of concern is what sounds best to you, assuming you are going to be paying for it and living with it and enjoying your music through it. I guess if you are buying as a gift for say, Micheal Fremmer, then you should probably be concerned with what he thinks....otherwise it's up to you.
